Pincushion is a small island no bigger than
a family house. Pincushion in recent years has reverted to
its original position of 30 years past. The island obviously
has not moved but the river mouth adjacent to it has. During
the year 2000 large tides and swells shifted the mouth of
Maroochydore River to the southern side of Pincushion Island,
heavily eroding the riverbank and claiming many meters of
parkland and the adjacent caravan park. Pincushion in the
year 2001 is connected to the north shore side of Maroochydore
River.
