Fitzroy Island National Park is a gazetted protected area covering Fitzroy Island, in Far North Queensland, Australia. Fitzroy Island, is a continental island located 22 kilometres east of Cairns on the mainland; the Aboriginal people connected to this Island are the Kobaburra from within the Gungganyji language group. As a Queensland National Park the natural and cultural resources of the Island itself are protected by the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and much of the island is therefore off-limits to visitors. Most visitors remain on the sheltered western side of the island, where the jetty and best snorkeling can be found. Fitzroy Island is a continental island, not a coral cay, it became an island when sea levels rose at the end of the last ice age, flooding a plain between a hill, now Fitzroy Island, what is now Cape Grafton. Over the 10,000 years since that time, coral reefs have formed in the bay on the protected western side of the island, lush rainforest on its shore. Fitzroy Island has been put to many uses by humankind.

It is part of the traditional lands of the Gurabana Gungandji people, who recorded its formation in myth, was used as a hunting and fishing ground. In 1778, Lieutenant James Cook named the island after the family name of the Duke of Grafton, the British Prime Minister when his ship, HMB Endeavour, had set sail. Through the 1800s, a pearling and beche-de-mer industry operated from the island. In 1876, a quarantine station was established on Fitzroy Island for Chinese "coolies" en route to the Palmer River Goldfields. A giant clam research station remains in operation on Welcome Bay; the Island has served as part an aboriginal mission in the early 1900s, an artillery gun emplacement in World War II, more a tourist resort. The Island has been home to lighthouses warning ships in the Grafton Passage of the reefs around the island, a small automatic light on Little Fitzroy Island, just off the north-east point, still serves this purpose. An inactive lighthouse sits on the point above, is part of the circuit trail, open to tourists.

Fitzroy's isolation has resulted with few large mammals. The dominant predators on the island are reptiles; the latter of these is common and will be seen as a tourist wanders around the trails. There are no venomous snakes on the island. There is a walking track that takes in the northern end of the island, the lighthouse on the north-west point which overlooks Little Fitzroy Island, the island's peak, which offers stunning 360 degree views over the surrounding reefs and Cape Grafton. From the top, on a clear day it is possible to make out the Frankland Islands to the south; the trail drops back down to the resort. Nudey Beach can be accessed by heading along the trail at the southern end of the resort, leads along the edge of the island through rainforest, with occasional glimpses out to Cape Grafton, descends to Nudey Beach, once a nude bathing beach, with some coral available for snorkelers; the fringing reef is a fair distance from the shore at the northern end of Welcome Bay, where it starts at the quite prominent'Bird Rock'.

It runs all the way down to the jetty before there is a small gap where the boats come in. The reef starts again near the rocks at the southern end of the beach, runs around the corner to Nudey Beach. Along this stretch it is close to shore - just a few steps from the shore; the snorkelling at Fitzroy is underrated. Visibility can be a bit low after rough weather, but the coral is excellent and the variety of fish superb; the clownfish can be found, as well as other anemonefish. Parrotfish and wrasses are common, green sea turtles frequent the bay, it is unlikely that box jellyfish would be encountered at Fitzroy Island due to the 4 km passage between the island and the mainland, but they have been found there as well as other stinging jellyfish. Fitzroy Island Resort can be found on Welcome Bay. Fitzroy Island Resort is a 60-minute ferry ride from Cairns in Queensland and is surrounded by a reef system that forms part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

The Lavra of David or David Gareja Lavra is a historical and architectural monument within the monastic complex of David Gareja. It was built during the first half of the 6th century under the guidance of San David Gareja; the monastery includes several buildings dating from the VI-XVIII centuries, intended for the use of churches and visitors. It is surrounded by defensive walls with rounded towers. In the center, there is an old church with a bell tower over the entrance, it is located in a mountainous area rich in caves. In the monastery, a system has been created to collect and use rainwater from the mountain. Water accumulates continuously in one of the caves that enter the complex. According to legend, this cave is called "The Tear of David."The largest and most important building in the complex is the Church of the Apostle John. Located in the heart of the complex, this church was built in the 12th century with red tiles; the north wall of the church, restored during the 18th century, is decorated with wall paintings depicting different eras of David Gareja's life.

Category 2 is the fourth-highest classification on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, categorizes tropical cyclones with 1-minute maximum sustained winds between 83 knots and 95 knots. Tropical cyclones that strengthen to Category 2 status and make landfall are capable of causing severe damage to human lives and infrastructure; as of 2019, a total of 84 hurricanes have peaked at Category 2 intensity within the Northeast Pacific tropical cyclone basin, defined as the region of the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and east of the International Date Line. Collectively, 1,775 people have been killed as a result of Category 2 Pacific hurricanes. Storms that attained Category 3, 4, or 5 status on the scale are not included. There is a plethora of factors that influence tropical cyclogenesis, the formation of tropical cyclones, in the Northeastern Pacific; the North Pacific High and Aleutian Low, which occur from December to April, produce strong upper-level winds which prevents the formation of tropical cyclones.

During the summer and early autumn months, sea surface temperatures are warm enough to support tropical cyclone development in the Northeast Pacific, even rapid intensification. Additionally, El Niño events cause more powerful hurricanes to form by generating weaker wind shear and higher sea surface temperatures, while La Niña events reduce the number of such hurricanes by doing the opposite. A Category 2 hurricane is defined by the National Hurricane Center as a tropical cyclone with winds of at least 83 knots, but not greater than 95 knots on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, developed in 1971. Sustained winds are defined by the National Hurricane Center as the average wind speed over the course of one minute at a height of 10 metres. Category 2 hurricanes that make landfall have the potential to cause extensive damage. There is a substantial risk of injury or death to humans and animals due to flying debris; the Northeast Pacific tropical cyclone basin is the area of the Pacific Ocean north of the equator and east of the International Date Line.

The basin is further divided into the central Pacific sub-basins. The east Pacific is located between the western coast of the 140th meridian west; the east Pacific is monitored by the National Hurricane Center, the current Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for that area. The central Pacific is located between the International Date Line, it has the Central Pacific Hurricane Center as its RSMC. Tropical cyclones occur less in the central Pacific than in the east Pacific, with some years featuring no systems forming or crossing into the basin. Since 1949, all tropical cyclones that have been recorded by RSMCs, both past and present, are listed in the Northeast and North Central Pacific hurricane database, produced and supported by the National Hurricane Center. Tropical cyclones occurring within the Northeast Pacific before 1970 were classified into three categories: tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane; the only deviations from these procedures occurred when humans were able to take pressure and/or wind measurements.

Due lack of specific wind and pressure records, there have been only two confirmed Category 2 hurricanes prior to 1970. In the east Pacific and central Pacific sub-basins, hurricane season begins on May 15 and June 1 with both concluding on November 30. Since 1949, a total of 84 Category 2 hurricanes have developed in the Northeast Pacific basin. Only one has occurred in the off-season: Hurricane Pali of 2016, which developed on January 7, marks the earliest formation of a tropical cyclone in the Northeastern Pacific basin on record. In addition to Pali, 3 systems formed in May, 8 in June, 17 in July, 22 in August, 17 in September, 12 in October, 4 in November; the majority of tropical cyclones form and organize in areas of warm sea surface temperatures of at least 26.5 °C and low vertical wind shear. When a pre-existing tropical disturbance – a tropical wave or a disturbance originating in the Intertropical Convergence Zone – enters an area where the aforementioned conditions are present, the disturbance can develop into a tropical cyclone, provided it is far enough from the equator to experience a sufficiently strong Coriolis force, which causes the counterclockwise rotation of hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere.

Between the months of December and April, sea surface temperatures in the tropics, where most Northeast Pacific tropical cyclones develop, are too low to support significant development. The presence of a semi-permanent high-pressure area known as the North Pacific High in the eastern Pacific reduces tropical cyclone development in the winter months, as the North Pacific High results in vertical wind shear that causes environmental conditions to be unconducive to tropical cyclone formation. Another factor preventing tropical cyclones from forming during the winter is the presence of a semi-permanent low-pressure area called the Aleutian Low between January and April, its effects in the central Pacific near the 160th meridian west cause tropical waves that form in the area to move northward into the Gulf of Alaska. As the disturbances travel northward, they transition into an extratropical cyclone; the Aleutian Low's retreat in late-April allows the warmth of the Pacific High to meander in, bringing its po
