Kurrimine Shore

The Kurrimine shore lies on the Coral Sea coast of northeastern Australia, where rainforest slopes come down to tidal flats and fringing reefs. Coastal groups fished the flats and reef edges and moved between the shore and the inland forest through the seasons. In 1770 James Cook's Endeavour struck the Great Barrier Reef farther north, and navigators on this coast had to watch the reef edges closely.
