In the old days Corindi Beach was named for the clay in the Pipeclay Lake
. “Girrin-da”.
(“Girrin” being the name of the clay, and “da” meaning “Where the clay is at”).
This is the root of the word Corindi.
The Gumbaynggirr People used to trade and create with the clay, and it was seen as a very valuable asset. There’s something about molding parts of the earth into art that is so satisfying, no matter what you make!
