Poole Island

Poole Island https://maps.apple/p/jZBmu9Kxbi_oto in Port Denison/Edgecumbe Bay is named after Benjamin Poole, who accompanied Henry Daniel Sinclair in the nine-ton ketch Santa Barbara on an investigation of the North Queensland coast. There was — reputedly — a reward for finding a suitable location to serve as a port for the new Kennedy Pastoral District.
