    Revisiting the place name meaning of Yaroomba The Gaiarbau, ‘bunya country’ and ‘thick vine scrub’ connections (by Kerry Jones, Arnold Jones, Sean Fleischfresser, Rodney Jones, Lore?a Algar, Helen Jones & Genevieve Jones) The Sunshine Coast region, fiHy years ago, may have had the greatest use of place names within Queensland derived from Aboriginal language words, according to researcher, E.G. Heap’s 1966 local history arQcle, ‘In the Wake of the Rasmen’. In the early days of colonisaon, local waterways were used to transport logs and Qmber, with the use of Aboriginal labour, therefore the term ‘rasmen’. Windolf (1986, p.2) notes that historically, the term ‘Coolum District’ included all the areas of Coolum Beach, Point Arkwright, Yaroomba, Mount Coolum, Marcoola, Mudjimba, Pacific Paradise and Peregian. In the 1960’s it was near impossible to take transport to and access or communicate with these areas, and made that much more difficult by wet or extreme weather. Around this Qme the Sunshine Coast Airport site (formerly the Maroochy Airport) having Mount Coolum as its backdrop, was sQll a Naonal Park (QPWS 1999, p. 3). Figure 1 - 1925 view of coastline including Mount Coolum, Yaroomba & Mudjimba Island north of the Maroochy Estuary In October 2014 the inaugural Yaroomba Celebrates fesQval, overlooking Yaroomba Beach, saw local Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) TradiQonal Owner, Lyndon Davis, performing with the yi’di’ki (didgeridoo), give a very warm welcome. While talking about Yaroomba, Lyndon stated this area too was and is ‘bunya country’. Windolf (1986, p.8) writes about the first Qmber-ge?ers who came to the ‘Coolum District’ in the 1860’s.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction Figure IN.1: A Sunshine Coast reflection.1 A reflection can be a number of things. It can be an image or a representation; a ‘fixing of the thoughts on something’; or, a vision which can ‘serve to give a particular aspect or impression’ of an object or an idea.2 A reflection is never a static, unchanging representation but an image which varies because of outside influences. Memorials, basically static objects, provide a basis for reflections which alter through time and according to the viewpoint of the observer. In answering the question ‘how can we understand the past from the vantage point of the present?’, the varied reflections developed from individual memorials can present a range of aspects which help to link the present with the past that each one commemorates.3 A collection of these reflections would be likely to show similarities – similar reflections from different memorials erected within a certain period of time and/or similar reflections from memorials within a geographic boundary, such as a region. This thesis will investigate the history of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast Region from the time of early European incursion until 2008, as reflected by the memorials of the region. 1 ‘Coolum Creek reflection’, photograph by Frances Windolf, 30 August 2011, in ‘Sunshine Coast memorials collection’, collection of photographs taken by Frances Windolf, 1988-2012. 2 Macquarie Dictionary, 4th edn, Macquarie University, NSW, 2005, p. 1191. 3 This question has been described by Australian historian Anne Curthoys as ‘A perennially troubling issue for historians’; Anne Curthoys, ‘Harry Potter and historical consciousness: reflections on history and fiction’, History Australia, vol.
