Currumbin Creek road bridge, Queensland

The original Thrower Drive bridge, taken from the water's edge at Winders Park on an outgoing tide.

Currumbin Creek starts its journey to the sea through the gorges of Mt Cougal National Park before gathering at the Currumbin Rock Pools, a popular swimming and picnic spot for tourists and locals. The 20 kilometre long creek then travels through agricultural and residential land before reaching the Pacific Ocean just north of Currumbin and Elephant Rocks.

The Currumbin Creek rises in the Gold Coast hinterland below Mount Cougal in the Springbrook National Park, west of the New South Wales settlement of Tomewin and north of the New South Wales/Queensland border. The creek flows generally north by east through the Currumbin Valley towards Currumbin where it is crossed by the Pacific Motorway and the Gold Coast Highway, before reaching its mouth at Currumbin Alley and emptying into the Coral Sea. The creek descends 138 metres (453 ft) over its 24-kilometre (15 mi) course (Wikipedia)
