Formatted abstract       Period: the nineteenth century.

      Place: a stretch of the Queensland coast, now named Cooloola

      Genre: environmental history.

      Themes: human contact and environmental change.

Using a wide range of sources, including scientific studies, ethnography, archival material and published works, this thesis examines the history of Cooloola during the nineteenth century, with emphasis on the way its natural environment was perceived and used by both Aborigines and European settlers." The topic is approached through the characteristics of the locality itself, then developed through descriptions and narratives that reveal salient aspects of the Aboriginal presence, the European invasion, and the occupation and abandonment of land.
