	Natural History: Why Woodiness? - research into the woodiness of plants
		Tropical and temperate islands, Carlquist reasoned, serve up a steady diet of sun, rain, and soil nutrients that permit herbs to grow year-round, never dying back, and the plants simply develop a woody skeleton as they grow taller or more robust.
		Sheltered on warm, wet islands, the theory goes, the woody plants flourished, while the continents' punishing ice ages favored their herbaceous counterparts, plants that either perish or die back each winter.
		Regardless of which came to the islands first--herbs or woody plants--some researchers have argued that switching from one growth form to the other represents an evolutionary one-way street never to be reversed.

		SOUTH of the Urangan Boat Harbour and bounded by the mainland, Woody Island, the Picnic Islands and the channel leading up into the Mary River, is a vast area of sand and mud banks drained by a network of channels.
		Although Round Island and the Picnics are shown on the map, we will leave it to another time to look at the fishing opportunities that they offer as they are vastly different to what is found on the flats.
		Of course you can always travel to or from the Southern end of Woody Island at any stage of the tide by going North from the harbour, around the North cardinal mark and then South along the eastern side of the island but this means travelling further.
