  • The Meaning of Yaroomba II
    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.

We’re so impressed that people have kept their businesses running and shown the resilience to be there for the rest of the community.” Mountain Bean Cafe owner Wayne Bluck faced a particularly rugged climb.

Enjoy your Velothon putting on a great experience for all riders. With the Sunshine Coast experience and I look forward to support of both Tourism and Events Queensland seeing you all cross that final finish line on Sunday. and Sunshine Coast Council we are looking forward to providing all our riders with a cycling experience Cheers, like no other. Toby Keegan Our goal for this event is to find a way to fully immerse all our riders within the cycling world, and Race Director what better way to do that then to put on an event when the cycling world is at the forefront of everyone’s mind during the Tour. The support of Sunshine Coast Council in this process has been great, providing us with high quality services and beautiful parklands to work with. Their ongoing support is appreciated. Just like the last year’s event, our team has been working on a product that has experiences to find a point of difference. We can’t change our core product, which is why we have focused on a couple of key components The Ride, The Glory and The Banter.
