Colonial accounts of Indigenous people.

[This is indicated as a point not a creek, so this location is probably wrong, though in the vicinity] "Coastal and inland aborigines would gather at Munna Point and hold corroborees before they set off for the bunya feast. As they went along,
they would spread out to hunt for food."
- (Reminiscences of Bull and others in) 'The Aborgines,' Tewantin State School Project, History of the Tewantin-Noosa District 1957, p21
