Currumbin Valley

The Currumbin Valley Reserve consists of 4 hectares of (mainly) rainforest in the hinterland of Queensland’s Gold Coast, west of Coolangatta. It is adjacent to the Nicoll Scrub National Park and together they form the only substantial area of rainforest remaining in the lower Currumbin Valley, containing over 200 species of higher plants, twelve species of which are listed as rare or threatened.

Bush Heritage acquired the Currumbin Valley Reserve through the will of Dr Alex Griffiths, who bought the property in 1994 then transferred it to the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland (Gold Coast and Hinterland Branch Inc). In his will Dr Griffiths expressed a wish for Bush Heritage to take over ownership and care of the land.

We thank the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland for giving Bush Heritage this land, in fulfilment of Dr Griffiths' wishes.
