Alligator Creek
The rural/residential locality of Alligator Creek, about 30 kilometres southeast of Townsville in Bindal country, is named for the creek that rises in the Mount Elliot massif and flows into Cleveland Bay. The creek forms the western boundary of the 55,300-ha Bowling Green Bay National Park.
Archaeological sites associated with the area's traditional owners date back to 10,000 BP. The Bindal people hosted shipwrecked sailor James Morrill for much of his time as a castaway between 1846 and 1863.
