	www.FAXTS.com - Travel & Home - North Stradbroke Island -
		Although the islands (at the time it was just one island) were sighted by both Captain James Cook and Matthew Flinders it wasn't until 1827 that the name Stradbroke, after the then Earl of Stradbroke, was given to the island by his son, Captain H. Rous, the commander of the HMS Rainbow.
		Stradbroke Island's most famous resident was the late Kath Walker (Oodgeroo Noonuccal), the highly regarded Aboriginal poet, who was born on North Stradbroke, established the Noonuccal Nughie Education and Cultural Centre on the island, and who has been at the forefront of attempts to curb the large scale sandmining which has occurred.
		These are all towards the north of the island, the southern part of the island being closed to the public due to sand mining.

		Amity, however, is a summer town, its economy entirely dependent on the money spent by tourists during June, July, and August for its survival the other nine months of the year.
		Indeed, just about the only responsible thing that anyone on Amity does in the immediate aftermath of the Kintner boy’s death is call in marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss, of Close Encounters of the Third Kind) to assist them in devising workable anti-shark measures.
		But the people and politicians of Amity are so eager to put their shark nightmares behind them and get on with the summer that no one but Brody takes Hooper’s warnings very seriously.
