HISTORY LEARNING ADVENTURE
Learning and Adventure OpportunitiesOur Pure Green Discovery offers learning experiences based on:Heritage: The traditional owners of the land are the Kombumerri people, a clan group of the Yugambeh language region which stretches from the Logan River to the Tweed region of New South Wales. Our region is one of the few regions in Australia where aboriginal names have been retained and celebrated for each of its major villages: Currumbin (meaning "Place of fat fish"); Tugun (meaning "Two Hills") ; Bilinga (meaning "Place of Bats"); Kirra (meaning "Boomerang"); and Coolangatta (meaning "Splendid view"). Indigenous Australians, along with South Sea Islander- indentured labor, worked with the early settlers to open up much of the region to settlement and banana farming. By doing so, they provided us with the regional amenity and history we have today.Australias Green Cauldron- Coastal Access: We are Queenslands green, coastal gateway to the Northern Rivers of NSW, the centre of which is Mount Warning, which is only 45 minutes away. Mount Warning is the volcanic plug remaining after the volcanic explosion that has created the Green Cauldron, of which the Southern Gold Coast is the north-easterly section, with its own beauty and charm.Australias Green Cauldron- Inland access: The majestic and richly-green Currumbin Valley offers this route along the Tomewin Mountain Road, which was the road used by early settlers to access New South Wales. It rises up over the spectacular Mount Tomewin, the first place in Australia where bananas were grown in the early 1900s.Currumbin Valley: This is our green spectacular. It is a Valley only 1-2 kilometers wide and walled on the northern side by sheer escarpments and on the southern side by high peaks . If offers the Mount Cougal Section of the Springbrook National Park, which is World Heritage Listed subtropical rainforest, but 20 kilometers from the Currumbin Surf Beach. It is also part of the Gondwana Rainforest of Eastern Australia. The beautiful Currumbin Creek has its headwaters at Mt Cougal. It flows to the Pacific Ocean via Currumbin Alley which is an estuarine, aquatic playground for all types of water sports and pastimes. Green coastal headlands : Currumbin; Tugun; Kirra; Greenmount; Snapper Rocks and Point Danger , each with their own majesty, flora and fauna and beachfront walkways, which enable both enjoyment and learning. Rolling surf and glistening beaches : The northerly ocean current sweeps sand past the mighty Tweed River, around Point Danger Danger (Queensland mainlands most easterly point) and on to the north- facing beaches of Rainbow Bay, Greenmount, and the Golden Four Beaches of Coolangatta, Kirra, Tugun and Currumbin. This creates our World-renowned, sand-bottomed point breaks, which are the home to many, international, elite surfboard riding competitions on the ASP tour.
