Just down near Kurrimine beach in 1878, a shipwrecked boat known as the “Riser” and it’s people made it to shore. The survivors built a camp for the night, but were unfortunately attacked, killed and partially eaten by a group of aboriginals. The bodies were later found by another group that rightfully named the spot Murdering Point. Murdering Point Road is the road that leads down to Kurrimine Beach. It may not be a happy name history, but it is an attention-grabber for sure.
This was a stop on the Cairns to Sydney road trip.
