	North Stradbroke Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		North Stradbroke Island is an Australian island in the state of Queensland, 30 km southeast of the capital Brisbane.
		As an alternative, development of the island for seaside residential use was mooted and in 1970 a bridge from the mainland via Russell Island was under serious consideration by the Queensland government.
		North Stradbroke Island is known for its long clean white beaches in the east, its peacefulness due to a long isolation and its rich diversity of nature varying from whales passing Point Lookout to the many wild orchids in the interior of the island.

	Walkabout - Stradbroke Island
		The islands, they were separated by a storm in 1896, are only 13 km from the seaside suburbs of Cleveland and Redland Bay by regular ferry services.
		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.

		Rous (1911) worked with a transmissible agent derived from chicken tumor cells [2] and this chicken tumor agent later came to be known as "Rous sarcoma" in honor of its originator.
		Kabat (1939) demonstrated that the Rous sarcoma/leukemia virus produced enzymatic effects in infected cells [6] and thus, by the advent of World War II, a transmissible leukemia/sarcoma-causing virus was nearly hypothetically available as a biological weapon.
		By 1943, Rous sarcoma was grown in cell culture and its effects on cells were observed [12].

		An island with forty miles of coastline and many harbors that was only very nominally a part of the New Haven Colony across the Sound and was far from any tariff port was indeed an advantage for those who wished to circumvent these acts (O'Callaghan 1849 [I ]: 166-7).

		That she was brought first to Rhode Island there is general agreement, and is altogether plausible as that colony dominated the colonial American slave trade.16 It is not possible to identify in what ship the child came, but the event must have taken place about 1730.

		He says she was brought "from Rhode Island to Enfield, Ct. when 5 years old (date unknown)."24 This statement is the probable explanation of why she was known as Lucy Terry before her marriage to Abijah Prince in 1756.
