"The Norwegian, naturalist, anthropologist and explorer Carl Lumholtz 
spent four years in Queensland from 1880. First based at Gracemere, 
he travelled in western Queensland, then to the Valley of Lagoons 
and finally to the Herbert River area of northern Queensland where 
he spent long periods travelling, camping and hunting with the Aborigines, 
in many cases with groups previously untouched by white people. He 
collected four new species of mammal including Dendrolagus lumholtzii, 
a Tree Kangaroo, and Pseudocheiris herbertensis, the ù Herbert River 
Ringtail Possum. His account of his travels, Among Cannibals, contains 
detailed observations of Aboriginal life. Later he became important as an 
anthropologist in Mexico and Arizona, then as explorer, naturalist and anthropologist 
in two yearsÆ travel in Borneo. The Lumholtz National Park in the Herbert River area, 
including Wallaman Falls; it is a fitting memorial to him." (Queensland Naturalist, 2006).
