Dunk Island, known as Coonanglebah in the Warrgamay and Dyirbal languages, is an island within the locality of Dunk in the Cassowary Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. It lies 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) off the Australian east coast, opposite the town of Mission Beach. The island forms part of the Family Islands National Park and is in the larger Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
The island is surrounded by reefs and has a diverse population of birds. The Bandjin and Djiru peoples once used the island as a source for food. Europeans first settled on the island in 1897. Dunk Island was used by the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II. In recent years the island and its resort facilities have been adversely affected by both Cyclone Larry and Cyclone Yasi.
The traditional Aboriginal owners of Dunk Island are the Bandjin and Djiru people, who have lived in this area for tens of thousands of years. After the sea level rise, they paddled to the islands in bark canoes to gather food and materials. The Warrgamay and Dyirbal name for Dunk Island is Coonanglebah, meaning "The Island of Peace and Plenty". It received its European name from Captain Cook, who sailed past it on 8 June 1770, remarked that it was a "tolerable high island" and named it after George Montague-Dunk, 2nd Earl of Halifax (a former First Lord of the Admiralty).
Europeans settled the nearby mainland during the 1800s, seeking gold, timber and grazing land. In 1848, John MacGillivray studied the fauna and flora of the island while HMS Rattlesnake was anchored off the island for ten days. He subsequently wrote of its natural features in the Narrative of the Voyage of HMS Rattlesnake, published in England in 1852.
Dunk Island, eight or nine miles in circumference, is well wooded—it has two conspicuous peaks, one of which (the North-West one) is 857 feet in height. Our excursions were confined to the vicinity of the watering place and the bay in which it is situated. The shores are rocky on one side and sandy on the other, where a low point runs out to the westward. At their junction, and under a sloping hill with large patches of brush, a small stream of fresh water, running out over the beach, furnished a supply for the ship, although the boats could approach the place closely only at high-water. — John MacGillivray, Narrative of the Voyage of HMS Rattlesnake
Edmund Banfield
In 1897, suffering from work anxiety and exhaustion, and advised by doctors that he had just six months to live, writer Edmund James Banfield moved to Dunk Island with his wife Bertha – so becoming the island's first white settlers. Previously a journalist and senior editor with the Townsville Daily Bulletin for fifteen years, Banfield let the tranquillity of this unspoilt tropical paradise weave its magic and he lived on Dunk Island for the remaining 26 years of his life until his death in 1923.
A small hut built with the assistance of an Aborigine called Tom was the Banfields' first home. Over a period of time they cleared four acres of land for a plantation of fruit and vegetables. Combined with their chickens, cows and goats as well as the abundance of seafood and mangrove vegetation, they lived very self-sufficiently. Fascinated by Dunk Island's flora and fauna Banfield meticulously recorded his observations and went on to write a series of articles about island life under the pseudonym Rob Krusoe. He was further inspired to write a full-length book entitled Confessions of a Beachcomber (1908). The book became a celebrated text for romantics and escapists and established Dunk Island's reputation as an exotic island paradise.
In the ensuing years, Banfield wrote several other books about Dunk including My Tropical Isle (1911) and Tropic Days (1918). In these he shared the secrets of nature that he had uncovered and described the customs and legends of the Aboriginal people on the island. E. J. Banfield died on 2 June 1923 and his final book Last Leaves from Dunk Island was published posthumously in 1925. His widow remained on the island for another year before moving to Brisbane where she died, ten years after her husband. Today both are buried on the trail to Mt Kootaloo.
Commencement of the resort and World War II
The island was bought in 1934 by Captain Brassey and Banfield's bungalow provided the basis for the beginnings of a resort. The resort was commenced in 1936. The Royal Australian Air Force occupied Dunk Island during World War II, building its airstrip in 1941. They installed a radar station on the island's highest point a year later, which was then dismantled when the war ended in 1945.
Post-war development of the resort
The Brassey family returned to run the resort for a period at the end of the war. The island then went through a succession of owners. In 1956, Gordon & Kathleen Stynes purchased it and relocated their family there from Victoria. They then redeveloped and upgraded the resort's facilities to establish the island as a tourist destination. As a result, Dunk Island became a popular destination for celebrities[11] including Sean Connery, Henry Ford II, and Australian Prime Ministers Harold Holt and Gough Whitlam. The Stynes Family owned and operated the island and resort until 1964, when it was sold to Eric McIlree, founder of Avis Rent-A-Car.
In 1976, Trans Australia Airlines purchased Dunk Island. Ownership passed to Qantas in 1992, following its merger with Australian Airlines. On 24 December 1997, the island was purchased by P&O Australian Resorts, which was acquired by Voyages in July 2004. In September 2009, both Dunk and Bedarra island resorts were purchased by Hideaway Resorts, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pamoja Capital.
Artists' colony
Dunk Island was also home to a small community of artists who lived, worked and showcased their work to many international and local visitors on a property on the southern side of the island. The Colony was established in 1974 by former Olympic wrestler Bruce Arthur, who died at his home on Island in March 1998 and continued to operate under resident metalsmith Susi Kirk until Cyclone Larry damaged much of the colony. Kirk continued to live at the colony until Cyclone Yasi destroyed her home in 2011, and has subsequently continued to live and work on Dunk Island as the last member of the artist colony.
After Cyclone Yasi, 2011–2020
After Cyclone Yasi, Dunk Island was bought by Australian entrepreneur Peter Bond and redevelopment of the resort commenced in 2014. This redevelopment never took place.
In September 2019 Mayfair 101, an Australian family-owned investment conglomerate led by James Mawhinney, purchased Dunk Island. Mayfair 101 also secured over 250 properties on mainland Mission Beach as part of its estimated AUD1.6 billion 10-15-year plan to restore the region. Mayfair 101 was awarded the Dunk Island Spit tender on 14 November 2019 by the Cassowary Coast Regional Council, providing the opportunity for Mayfair 101 to negotiate a 30-year lease over the iconic Dunk Island Spit. The island's redevelopment is being undertaken by Mayfair 101's property division, Mayfair Iconic Properties, which has established a team based at Mission Beach to undertake the significant rejuvenation of the region.
In August 2020, the previous owners of the island, Family Islands Operations, owned by the family of Australian businessman Peter Bond repossessed the island after the owners Mayfair 101 failed to meet their payment obligations.

The Aspang station in National Socialism
In contrast to Germany, where the Jewish population was deported from several cities, the central location for the deportations of the Jewish population of Vienna and Austria was Vienna's Aspang railway station in the 3rd district. In the course of the deportations, which departed from Vienna between February 1941 and October 1942, the majority of the Jewish population was deported from there to ghettos and extermination camps in the east. The station, which is a bit off the main train stations or main railway lines and therefore less frequented, was probably chosen deliberately for this purpose. At the same time, however, the station was located in the middle of the city, so that the sometimes weekly deportation of about a thousand Jews was not unnoticed, but followed before the eyes of the population. Between 1939 and 1945, a total of 48,953 Jews were deported from Vienna, 47,035 of them in 47 transports from Vienna's Aspangbahnhof.
Deportations from the Aspang station - transports and number of victims
The first two transports handled at Aspang Station were those from October 20 and 26, 1939, to Nisko on the river San, with which 1,584 Jewish men were deported from Vienna, who had previously been interned in the Gänsbacher alley transit camp. The bulk of the Jewish population was deported with the 1941 spring deportations and the major deportations between October 1941 and October 1942 - a total of 45,451 women, men and children in 45 transports, with each transport between 900 and over 1000 people. Among them were not only Viennese, but also Jews from the federal states, who had been expelled to Vienna in 1938/39. Politically persecuted, stateless Jews and other non-Jewish groups of victims, however, were sent in the years 1938/39 mainly from Westbahnhof (Western Railway Station) to Dachau and Buchenwald, and later also to Mauthausen. The Nordbahnhof (Norther Railway Station) only served as a deportation station for smaller and individual transports after the completion of the major deportations from 1943 to the end of the war. In the years 1943-1945 a total of 1,918 Jews were deported.
According to the calculations of the historian Jonny Moser, only a total of 1,734 Jews survived the deportation to the ghettos and extermination camps. Of the 45,451 in the years 1941 and 1942 deported from the Aspang station, the majority was murdered, 989 people survived, including the via Theresienstadt to Auschwitz deported later writer Ruth Klüger.
Destinations of the deportation trains
The destinations of the deportations were the "Generalgouvernement (the German administered part of Poland during World War II)" (Nisko, Opole, Kielce, Modliborczicze, Łagów / Opatów and Izbica), Łódź (Warthegau), Riga (Latvia), Minsk with Maly Trostinec (Belarus), Theresienstadt/Terezin ("Protectorate") and Auschwitz (Upper Silesia). The train journey lasted between two days and one week. About half of all deportees from Vienna came to Theresienstadt (15,122 people) and Minsk / Maly Trostinec (9,471 people). From Theresienstadt around half of the Jews from the former Austria were sent on between August 1942 and October 1944 to Auschwitz and other places of extermination, such as Treblinka, and murdered, including the sisters of Sigmund Freud.
Roma and Sinti
Most of the Austrian Roma and Sinti were deported from train stations in Burgenland and Styria, partly directly from the Lackenbach detention camp. Some of the Roma and Sinti living in Vienna, including the family of Ceija Stojka (1933-2013), were also deported from Vienna in 1943. Since at this time the Aspang station was no longer used for deportation transports, it can be assumed that Roma and Sinti were not deported from there.
The Aspang station in the years 1945-2002
After the Second World War, the Aspang station was used by the British occupation as a station for supplies. The passenger operation was maintained until 1971. This year, the rapid-transit railway station Rennweg was opened. The station building was demolished in the summer of 1977. The historic railway line, however, continued to exist and was later used by the airport express train (S7) and as a freight yard. The railway area was still used until 2001 as a freight yard. In 2002, the entire railway system of the Aspang Railway was broken off and a tunnel was built for the airport rapid transit railway. Furthermore, a crossing-free link was created with the rapid transit main line. As a result, traffic usage disappeared underground and was also the prelude to a high-quality urban development of the entire Aspang area.
Memorial stone and planned memorial
A commemorative plaque erected in 1983 with the call "Never forget!" recalls the Jews deported in the years 1939-1942 from the former Aspang station. In 1995, the city of Vienna renamed the forecourt into Place of the Victims of the Deportation.
On the grounds of the former Aspang station, the new district of Eurogate is under construction. The Leon Zelman Park located there was named after the founder of the "Jewish Welcome Service". An educational campus with kindergarten and schools will be named after Aron Menczer (1917-1943), head of the Zionist Youth Aliyah. Aron Menczer was deported to Theresienstadt on 24 September 1942 with one of the last major transports and murdered in Auschwitz in 1943. A memorial for the victims of the deportation is to be erected on the site until the summer of 2017.
Opening of the Aspangbahnhof Memorial September 7, 2017
The memorial at the Aspangbahnhof was on 7 September 2017 in the presence of City Councilor Andreas Mailath-Pokorny, Municipal Councilor for Housing, Housing and Urban Renewal Michael Ludwig, the Ambassador of the State of Israel Talya Lador-Fresher, the President of the Jewish Community Oskar Deutsch, and numerous Personalities of political and cultural life and representatives of the Jewish community opened. The memorial is located in the Leon Zelman Park, Vienna 3, Aspang grounds. The memorial was designed by the artist group PRINDpod as part of the project KÖR Kunst in the public space Vienna, which lives since 1984 as a team in Vienna. It recalls the 47,035 Jews who were deported from the Aspang Station to the ghettos and extermination camps in 47 transports in the years 1939 and 1941/1942, of which only 1073 survived. One of these survivors, Herbert Schrott, born in 1926, spoke as a witness at the opening. The memorial "with two concrete rails converging conically over a length of about 30 meters points to the railway tracks" of the former station. These rails come together in a concrete block and end in this. In this way, the visualization of the journey to death should be symbolized.
Der Aspangbahnhof im Nationalsozialismus
Im Unterschied zu Deutschland, wo die jüdische Bevölkerung aus mehreren Städten deportiert wurde, war der zentrale Ort für die Deportationen der jüdischen Bevölkerung Wiens und Österreichs der Wiener Aspangbahnhof im 3. Bezirk. Im Zuge der Deportationen, die zwischen Februar 1941 und Oktober 1942 von Wien abgingen, wurde der Großteil der jüdischen Bevölkerung von dort in Ghettos und Vernichtungslager im Osten deportiert. Der etwas abseits der großen Bahnhöfe bzw. Haupteisenbahnrouten liegende und daher weniger frequentierte Bahnhof wurde vermutlich bewusst für diesen Zweck ausgewählt. Gleichzeitig befand sich der Bahnhof jedoch mitten in der Stadt, sodass der zuweilen wöchentliche Abtransport von jeweils rund tausend Jüdinnen und Juden nicht unbemerkt, sondern vor den Augen der Bevölkerung erfolgte. Zwischen 1939 und 1945 wurden insgesamt 48.953 Jüdinnen und Juden aus Wien deportiert, davon 47.035 Personen in 47 Transporten vom Wiener Aspangbahnhof.
Deportationen vom Aspangbahnhof – Transporte und Opferzahlen
Die ersten beiden am Aspangbahnhof abgefertigten Transporte waren jene vom 20. und 26. Oktober 1939 nach Nisko am San, mit denen 1.584 jüdische Männer aus Wien deportiert wurden, die zuvor im Sammellager Gänsbachergasse interniert worden waren. Der Großteil der jüdischen Bevölkerung wurde mit den Frühjahrsdeportationen 1941 und den großen Deportationen zwischen Oktober 1941 und Oktober 1942 deportiert – insgesamt 45.451 Frauen, Männer und Kinder in 45 Transporten, wobei jeder Transport zwischen 900 und über 1000 Personen umfasste. Darunter waren nicht nur Wienerinnen und Wiener, sondern auch Jüdinnen und Juden aus den Bundesländern, die 1938/39 nach Wien vertrieben worden waren. Politische Verfolgte, staatenlose Juden sowie andere nichtjüdische Opfergruppen wurden hingegen in den Jahren 1938/39 vorwiegend vom Westbahnhof nach Dachau und Buchenwald, später auch nach Mauthausen verschickt. Der Nordbahnhof fungierte erst nach Abschluss der großen Deportationen von 1943 bis Kriegsende als Deportationsbahnhof für kleinere und Einzeltransporte. In den Jahren 1943-1945 wurden insgesamt 1.918 Jüdinnen und Juden deportiert.
Laut den Berechnungen des Historikers Jonny Moser überlebten nur insgesamt 1.734 Jüdinnen und Juden die Deportation in die Ghettos und Vernichtungslager. Von den 45.451 in den Jahren 1941 und 1942 vom Aspangbahnhof Deportierten wurde der Großteil ermordet, 989 Personen überlebten, darunter die über Theresienstadt nach Auschwitz deportierte spätere Schriftstellerin Ruth Klüger.
Zielorte der Deportationszüge
Die Zielorte der Deportationen waren das "Generalgouvernement" (Nisko, Opole, Kielce, Modliborczicze, Łagów/Opatów und Izbica), Łódź (Warthegau), Riga (Lettland), Minsk mit Maly Trostinec (Weißrussland), Theresienstadt ("Protektorat") und Auschwitz (Oberschlesien). Die Bahnfahrt dauerte zwischen zwei Tagen und einer Woche. Rund die Hälfte aller aus Wien Deportierten kam nach Theresienstadt (15.122 Personen) und Minsk / Maly Trostinec (9.471 Personen). Von Theresienstadt wurden rund die Hälfte der aus dem ehemaligen Österreich stammenden Jüdinnen und Juden zwischen August 1942 und Oktober 1944 nach Auschwitz und andere Vernichtungsorte wie Treblinka weiter verschickt und ermordet, darunter die Schwestern von Sigmund Freud.
Roma und Sinti
Der Großteil der österreichischen Roma und Sinti wurde von Bahnhöfen im Burgenland und in der Steiermark, zum Teil direkt vom Anhaltelager Lackenbach deportiert. Ein Teil der in Wien lebenden Roma und Sinti, darunter die Familie von Ceija Stojka (1933-2013), wurde ab 1943 auch von Wien aus deportiert. Da zu diesem Zeitpunkt der Aspangbahnhof nicht mehr für Deportationstransporte in Verwendung war, ist anzunehmen, dass Roma und Sinti nicht von dort deportiert wurden.
Der Aspangbahnhof in den Jahren 1945-2002
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg diente der Aspangbahnhof der britischen Besatzung als Bahnhof für den Nachschub. Der Personenbetrieb wurde bis 1971 aufrechterhalten. In diesem Jahr eröffnete man die Schnellbahnstation Rennweg. Das Bahnhofsgebäude wurde im Sommer 1977 demoliert. Die historische Bahntrasse blieb jedoch weiterhin bestehen und wurde später durch die Flughafen-Schnellbahn (S7) sowie als Güterbahnhof genutzt. Das Bahnareal wurde noch bis 2001 als Güterbahnhof genutzt. Im Jahr 2002 wurde die gesamte Bahnanlage der Aspangbahn abgebrochen und ein Tunnel für die Flughafen-Schnellbahn errichtet. Ferner wurde eine kreuzungsfreie Verbindungsstrecke mit der Schnellbahn-Stammstrecke geschaffen. Damit verschwand die verkehrliche Nutzung unter die Erde und war zugleich der Auftakt für eine hochwertige städtebauliche Entwicklung der gesamten Aspanggründe.
Gedenkstein und geplantes Mahnmal
Eine 1983 errichtete Gedenktafel mit dem Aufruf "Niemals vergessen!" erinnert an die in den Jahren 1939-1942 vom ehemaligen Aspangbahnhof deportierten Jüdinnen und Juden. 1995 benennt die Stadt Wien den Vorplatz in Platz der Opfer der Deportation.
Auf dem Gelände des ehemaligen Aspangbahnhofs ist der neue Stadtteil Eurogate im Entstehen. Der dort befindliche Leon-Zelman-Park wurde nach dem Gründer des "Jewish Welcome Service" benannt. Ein Bildungscampus mit Kindergarten und Schulen wird den Namen von Aron Menczer (1917-1943), dem Leiter der zionistischen Jugendalijah, tragen. Aron Menczer wurde mit einem der letzten großen Transporte am 24. September 1942 nach Theresienstadt deportiert und 1943 in Auschwitz ermordet. Ein Mahnmal für die Opfer der Deportation soll bis Sommer 2017 auf dem Gelände errichtet werden.
Eröffnung des Mahnmals Aspangbahnhof 7. September 2017
Das Mahnmal am Aspangbahnhof wurde am 7. September 2017 unter Beisein von Kulturstadtrat Andreas Mailath-Pokorny, Amtsführendem Stadtrat für Wohnen, Wohnbau und Stadterneuerung Michael Ludwig, der Botschafterin des Staates Israel Talya Lador-Fresher, des Präsidenten der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde Oskar Deutsch, sowie zahlreichen Persönlichkeiten des politischen und kulturellen Lebens und Vertretern der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde eröffnet. Das Mahnmal befindet sich im Leon-Zelman-Park, Wien 3, Aspanggründe. Das Mahnmal wurde im Rahmen des Projektes KÖR Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Wien von der Künstlergruppe PRINDpod entworden, die seit 1984 als Team in Wien lebt. Es erinnert an die 47.035 Juden und Jüdinnen, die vom Aspangbahnhof in 47 Transporten in den Jahren 1939 und 1941/1942 in die Ghettos und Vernichtungslager deportiert wurden und von denen nur 1073 überlebten. Einer dieser Überlebenden, der 1926 geborene Herbert Schrott, sprach als Zeitzeuge bei der Eröffnung. Das Mahnmal "verweist mit zwei über eine Länge von rund 30 Metern konisch zusammenlaufenden Betonschienen auf die Gleisanlagen" des ehemaligen Bahnhofs. Diese Bahnschienen laufen in einem Betonblock zusammen und enden in diesem. Auf diese Weise sollte die Visulisierung der Reise in den Tod symbolisiert werden.

From A Proposal for the Development of the East Shore Tidelands of San Francisco Bay, Prepared for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company by Victor Gruen Associates, October, 1963.
The art of Turkish tiles and ceramics occupies a place of prominence in the history of Islamic art. Its roots can be traced at least as far back as the Uighurs of the 8th and 9th centuries. Its subsequent development was influenced by Karakhanid, Ghaznavid, and (especially) Iranian Seljuk art. With the Seljuks' victory over the Byzantines at Malazgirt in 1071, the art followed them into Anatolia and embarked upon a new period of strong development fostered by the Anatolian Seljuk sultanate.
The Anatolian Seljuks were of course influenced by the cultural heritage they encountered in their new homeland, adapting them to the techniques that they had brought with them from the Iranian plateau. This resulted in a distinctively Anatolian style of Seljuk architecture that was in full bloom by the 13th century. Seljuk mosques, medreses (theological academies), tombs, and palaces were lavishly decorated with exquisite tiles. Examples of such tile-clad structures can still be seen in the Seljuks' capital city of Konya as well as in the cities of Sivas, Tokat, Beysehir, Kayseri, Erzurum, Malatya, and Alanya.
The most frequently-encountered type of architectural decoration during the Anatolian Seljuk period involved the use of glazed brick in which glazed (and also unglazed) bricks were arranged to produce a variety of patterns, mostly on the facades of buildings. Turquoise was the most frequently-used color for glaze although cobalt blue, eggplant violet, and sometimes black were also popular.
A type of architectural decoration used in conjunction with glazed brick was hexagonal, triangular, square, and rectangular monochrome tiles. Unlike brick, these were preferred for indoor applications and were suitable for a multiplicity of geometrical arrangements. Tiles were made from a paste that was harder and more yellowish than that of bricks. Turquoise, cobalt blue, violet, and (sometimes) green glazes were used. There are rare examples with traces of gilding.

My attempt at a quick character head-drawing exercise developed by @Shaun_Bryant (on Twitter). You can find him on You Tube under the channel name Shaun Bryant Art. My theme for this exercise was Fictional Characters' New Year's Resolutions. Basically, he gives you head shapes and you try to quickly draw characters using those shapes.
Houses attached in a row are called "row houses". Row house development in America began in Philadelphia. A Row house differs in the manner in which it was originally developed by the builder. Historically, someone would purchase a plot of land and then commission craftsmen to build a house, or houses, on it for their personal use. With row houses, a developer would purchase an entire block of plots, build a row of connected houses and then sell the finished buildings. This is called speculative development and was a new concept in the early 19th Century. Because of the origins of row houses in Philadelphia, row houses in America were called “Philadelphia Row Houses,” at least in the beginning.
