The Interesting History of the Gold Coast
Kurrungul is the name local aborigines used for the south coast of Queensland. It is a word derived from their language meaning endless supply of timber. This area was said to be a meeting place of local tribes for hunting, camping and fishing along the many creeks and estuaries located between the Tweed River and Moreton Bay. Captain Cook traveled here in 1770 and at this time named Point Danger and Mount Warning. It was not until the 1840′s that the area was of interest to European settlers. They were not interested in the beaches here, they were interested in the timber.
