in 2008. The western population is at Little Canalpin Creek. Flora There are 780 plant species recorded for the island, 599 native and 181 introduced species. Of these 14 species are classified as threatened or near threatened species under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992, two of them are endemic to the island. Examples include: Notophyll vine forest on parabolic high dunes: These occur on the foot and lower slope of high dunes on the west of Eighteen Mile Swamp, Swan Bay area and are the habitat for rare and threatened flora including Cryptocarya foetida. Acacia baueri Bauer's wattle [vulnerable]: These occur in seasonally waterlogged sands in wallum areas such as Canalpin Swamp and Eighteen Mile Swamp. Durringtonia paludosa Durringtonia [near threatened]: These occur in Myora Swamp and Eighteen Mile Swamp, and, in 1993 Bostock and Thomas recorded the first specimens on NSI since 1935. Phaius australis swamp orchid [endangered]: These occur at Flinders Beach Wetlands, Myora and Eighteen Mile swamps. Thelypteris confluens soft swamp fern [vulnerable]: These occur found in permanently swamp areas associated with species of Baumea and Cladium at Flinders Beach Wetlands and Eighteen Mile Swamp. Arthraxon hispidus hairy-joint grass [vulnerable] may no longer be present on the island. Blandifordia grandiflora Christmas bells [endangered] Eleocarpus difformis underwater spikerush [endangered – endemic] Goodenia arenicola [presumed extinct] Olearia hygrophila swamp daisy [endangered – endemic] Persicaria elatior smartweed [vulnerable] Phaius bernaysi swamp orchid [endangered] likely to be a yellow colour form of P. australis, it is likely that no mainland populations remain of this colour form. Pterostylis nigricans brownhood orchid [near threatened] Schoenus scabripes bog rush [near threatened] Thesium australe toadflax [vulnerable] History North Stradbroke Island has the earliest evidence of human occupation in south-east Queensland. The Aboriginal (Jandai) name of the island is Minjerribah ("island in the sun"). The first recorded visit by a European was by Matthew Flinders in 1802, who was seeking a source of fresh water. He was impressed by the Aboriginal people's health and hospitality. Local historian, Thomas Welsby, records an Aboriginal oral tradition that there was earlier contact with non-indigenous people. This concerns two survivors who walked into one of the Aboriginal camps after their ship was wrecked on the ocean side of the island.
