Currumbin Creek Sawmill

Starting from the car park on Currumbin Creek Road, Currumbin Valley, this return walk takes you to the historical sawmill located along Currumbin Creek via a singular bitumen track, potentially visiting some lovely rock pools along the way. A peaceful stroll of a walk takes you to the old sawmill at the end, and the informative signposts along the track tells you all about the history of the area. In fact, this place used to be a banana plantation back in the day. The paved and undemanding footpath lets you focus on the scenery and nature around you. You can rock hop/scramble a little bit to get to the rock pools along Currumbin Creek. The track is quite popular so avoid peak times to have a more secluded experience. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
