Abstract
Fingal Head is a village on the Tasman Sea coast in the far northeast of New South Wales, Australia, about 5 km south of the New South Wales and Queensland border. The village is often just called Fingal. The headland and the small off-shore Island (Cook Island) were first sighted by James Cook about 17:00 on 16 May 1770 (log date and time). At the time of the 2021 census, Fingal Head had a population of 592 people. (Wikipedia) Fingal Head is a distinctive volcanic headland of rectangular basalt columns, formed as lava flowed toward the ocean 23 million years ago.
