The title deeds covered the area east of Cockle Creek, Boolaroo and the place now known as Speers Point.

In 1920, a rowing boat (later hire boat and ferry) service operated across Cockle Creek, however a footbridge was constructed in 1928.

This may have been due to the Chinese Gardens in the area between Victoria Street and Cockle Creek.

Cockle Creek may refer to:

The town saw minor action in the war via the Battle of Cockle Creek fought in the bay in 1861.

During the 1830s there were 4 whaling stations at Cockle Creek.

It was the site of a naval battle during the Civil War, the Battle of Cockle Creek.

A weir at Barnsley along Cockle Creek was constructed to supply cooling water for the power station.

But I have a picture of us coming out of the bush at Cockle Creek that still inspires me.

The other places of note in the area are Dover, Southport, Cockle Creek and the Hastings Cave system.
