Whoooaaah! That’s a big move!
Equatorial Launch Australia (ELA) - one of Australia’s emerging launch facilities, is ‘immediately’ moving from Arnhem Land in the NT to Cape York in QLD.
That now means all equatorial orbit launch ports from AUS will be in QLD (benefits: near equator, ocean to east)

The glaciers were first sighted by a European in 1632 -- Dutch East India Company captain Jan Carstenszoon, exploring in the wake of Willem Janszoon (who mapped Weipa Harbour, pretty accurately, in 1602).
They'd been there for millennia before that; at least 115,000 years, probably much longer.

Did some work for a Guinea bauxite project. Our reserves look tired compared to theirs. WA's are attracting more and more opprobrium for the Jarrah forest destruction. And Weipa is now across the river into much less impressive reserves -- also on environmentally sensitive ground (worked there too).

Police believe the man disappeared from a boat off the Fairway Buoy near Evans Landing at Weipa, about 635 kilometres north-west of Cairns.

If people don't know where Weipa is, they'll probably find it hard to point at Cairns.
