	Wide Bay Coast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Flinders also coined the region’s name by labelling Fraser Island and the Cooloola coast as “the Great Sandy Peninsula” on his maps, though he suspected that Fraser Island was in fact separated from the mainland.
		The Queensland government declared the area an Aboriginal reserve in the early 1860s but, with the discovery of gold at Gympie in 1867, Europeans flocked into the region in their thousands.
		This influx, and the economic boom that went with it, saved the fledgling Queensland from bankruptcy, but brought the usual conflicts, and the reserve gradually became little more than a holding pen for tribal survivors from all over the state.

		Consequently, Queensland is a vibrant place to visit, and Sunshine Staters are far more likely to be city kids who work in modern offices than stereotypical "bushies" who work the land.
