This is a complimentary thread to Chowchilla's Cairns City list. I live in one of the northern suburbs of Cairns called Yorkeys Knob, which as my wife is a midwife has lead to many crude jokes (the Residents Association has printed T-shirts and stubby coolers with the moto Yorkeys Knob bigger than Moby's Dick!).
Yorkeys is one the coast and my area encompasses a range of habitats from mangrove swamp, sand dunes, a couple of brackish lagoons and a small area of rank grasssland. It is I think approximately the same size as Chowies patch.
