Cox's Creek was also the name of the settlement which became Bridgewater, South Australia.
The creek arises near Uraidla and flows in a southerly direction through the Piccadilly Valley, and joins the Onkaparinga River south of Bridgewater[1] near the Mylor bridge.
It flows through the Raywood gardens,[2][3] which, along with the large home, are heritage-listed on the SA Heritage Register.
[4] Robert Cock emigrated with his family to South Australia on HMS Buffalo, arriving in December 1836.
He led a small exploration party from Adelaide to Lake Alexandrina in 1837, on Christmas Day camping at, and with some difficulty crossing, the creek which was named for him.
