Jumpinpin Channel

The Jumpinpin channel, also known as The Pin, is a fast moving tidal deep water channel in Queensland, Australia. It was formed in 1898 and severed Stradbroke Island, originally one island, into North Stradbroke Island and South Stradbroke Island. Its name is derived from a Yugambeh word meaning Pandanus root.
