People on the Rainbow Bay edge of Greenmount Hill in Coolangatta, 1899

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The small rocky headland Kirra Point separates Kirra Beach to the north and Coolangatta Beach to the south, and is noted as one of the world's premier surf breaks. In the past the surf break was known for producing high quality barrels. Today sand pumping across the Tweed River mouth has filled it in and changed its character. The name of the neighbourhood comes from Kirra Hill which is 27 metres (89 ft) above sea level,[3] which first appears on an 1883 survey plan by surveyor Mr Schneider. Although believed to be an Indigenous name, the specific language and meaning is unknown. For example, in the Yuggera language, kaiyar means white cockatoo while in the Kabi language kirran means fire.[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirra,_Queensland

  The people in this photo are actually sitting on Greenmount Point - the headland in the background is Kirra Point, with Coolangatta Beach separating the two.
