WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Cooroy takes its name from the nearby mountain, which is derived from the Gubbi Gubbi / Kabi Kabi word for possum, ‘kurui’! Look for me for more facts about our town.

Cooroy is bursting at the seams with culture and heritage. Almost every nook is infused with artistic flair or a rich piece of history.

Host to a variety of events and attractions it’s easy to be swept up in a whirlwind of stories, art, music and talented artisans.

The Butter Factory Arts Centre in Maple Street, dates back to the early 1900’s it regularly hosts special art exhibitions to delight the senses and workshops for

those after a more hands-on approach.

The Lower Mill site provides an insight to the town’s timber origins and is part of an extensive development, including the hinterland library and the renovated, heritage listed boiler and kilns which even include a resident ghost to regale you with tales from the timber milling days – more details can be found at www.lowermillsite.com.au.

However, to truly get an insight into this unique township the Cooroy Heritage Walk is a must! Starting

from the Lower Mill Site in Mary River Road it winds its way past heritage buildings and attractions. The full walk can be found at

www.cooroy.com.au on the Cooroy History page.

Prepare to be captivated by Cooroy’s breathtaking natural scenery.

Take a scenic drive along country lanes that offer panoramic views of the hinterland. Or experience the scenery and wildlife by taking a hike, or riding a horse or mountain bike on one of the Noosa Trails.

Picturesque Lake Macdonald and the Noosa Botanical Gardens are just four kilometres from the centre of Cooroy and the perfect setting for a picnic or leisurely stroll. The lake is home to a myriad of bird life as well as a great spot for fishing, bird watching and canoeing.

A little further afield is the lookout at Mount Tinbeerwah which is an easy walk

or climb Cooroora Mountain at Pomona which is a more difficult climb.
