This page demonstrates the reusable content block types using sample content about native animals of northern Queensland.
The image-text block without an image uses the full content-panel width and is useful for short explanations, introductions, and narrative content. This example uses the optional secondary background colour on the block itself.
Northern Queensland supports rainforest, reef, woodland, wetland, and savanna habitats. These landscapes are home to animals found nowhere else in Australia.
The southern cassowary and Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo are strongly associated with Wet Tropics rainforest. They rely on connected habitat and healthy native vegetation.
Estuarine crocodiles and green turtles connect freshwater, coastal, and reef systems. Their life cycles are shaped by water quality, nesting habitat, and climate.
This example uses background: "primary" to place both columns inside a coloured content panel. The block heading uses the matching primary text colour.
Research in the Wet Tropics explores how connected forests support wildlife and seed dispersal.
Each column retains its surface background and matching text and link colours, making it readable against the surrounding primary panel.
Coastal research connects seagrass meadows, reef habitats, and nesting beaches.
This example uses image_position: "left" and omits background. The image and text sit directly on the page, with a gap between them and no outer panel padding.
Southern cassowaries disperse the seeds of many rainforest plants. Their movement through connected forest helps maintain the diversity of the Wet Tropics.
This block places an optional image beside a single text column. The image can be positioned on the left or right and set to small, medium, or large.
Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo is an arboreal marsupial of the Wet Tropics. It moves through the forest canopy and is vulnerable to habitat fragmentation.
Use image_position: "right" to place the image beside the text on the right. The background stays within the content panel, and the image has no padding on its outer side.
Green turtles connect reef and seagrass habitats with coastal nesting beaches. Protecting these linked environments supports their life cycle.
The partner logo block can use a columns override in front matter as the maximum number of logos per row, with optional links from each logo. If columns is omitted, it uses partner_logo_max_items_per_row from _config.yml.
A background colour setting is optional.
White reverse mono logos have transparent backgrounds, so the primary colour shows through their negative spaces.
These cards use the same surface colours and styling as page cards, but their content is written here rather than collected from other pages. Images and links are optional. The number of colums is configurable but if you add too many it won’t look good or be very responsive.

Southern cassowaries help disperse rainforest seeds throughout the Wet Tropics.
This text-only card needs no image or link. It can include Markdown:
This card has an image without a link. Protecting connected forest supports canopy-dwelling wildlife.
With columns: 1, images appear beside the text on desktop. Text-only cards use the full row. On smaller screens, images stack above the text.
Green turtles depend on linked marine habitats and coastal nesting beaches.
A text-only card fills the row without reserving an empty image column.
Use the same title, text, image, image_alt, url, and link_text fields as landing-page section cards.
This card block uses columns: 4. Each card is generated from a Markdown page in the animals folder.
A large rainforest bird that spreads seeds through the Wet Tropics and depends on connected habitat.

No background colour is specified for this block. The table body uses the standard page background and matching text colours, with subtle alternating stripes when that background is light.
