Green Island (Queensland)
Green Island 〔(Queensland Government Placenames ) Accessed 20 November 2007〕 (originally ''Dabuukji'') is a coral cay offshore from Cairns, Queensland, Australia located within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park World Heritage Area. The island is surrounded by coral reef and protected in the Green Island National Park. Most visitors come for the day. A luxury resort with 46 rooms is situated on the island.
==Origins==
The island was formed approximately 6,000 years ago by waves depositing sand, coral and other debris onto its coral foundations.〔(Green Island National Park ). Department of Environment and Resource Management. Accessed 20 November 2007.〕
Today the island supports a range of vegetation, including dry coastal/beach plants and a vine thicket rain forest. There are no natural freshwater springs on the island so all vegetation relies on rainwater and a small freshwater lens located under the island.
The local Aboriginal people (particularly Dick Moses, speaking Yidinyji) have reported that some time back in the past (in time immemorial) ''Dabuukji'' (Green Island) was approximately four times the size it is now. The present coral cay is only the north-east portion of the whole, original island.〔Dixon, R.M.W. (1996) ''Origin legends and linguistic relationships'' Oceania, Volume 67 Number 2〕
