 Tjilbruke's trail follows the coastline through Carrickalinga.Carrickalinga first appeared in 1958 as the name of a private subdivision developed by a George Lewis of Waterloo Corner in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Myponga.The name was “used in preference to Gold Coast“ and is reported as being a “corruption of karikalingga, a former Aboriginal camp on Section 1018, meaning 'place for redgum firewood'.” Boundaries were established in respect to the "Geographical Names Act" in 1988 with a portion being added in 1994 and then “redefined” in 1999.
