Coogee

Coogee extends along the Pacific Ocean coastline, situated eight kilometers southeast of Sydney's central business district within Randwick City Council boundaries.

The area's name originates from the Aboriginal word 'koojah', referring to the location where water flows, before European settlement transformed it into a seaside destination.

The suburb maintains regular markets, outdoor movie screenings, and summer festivals that bring together both residents and visitors throughout the calendar year.

Multiple bus routes connect Coogee to central Sydney, while the area offers numerous amenities including medical facilities, shops, and beachfront dining establishments.

The Coogee Aquarium made headlines in 1935 when a captured tiger shark unexpectedly regurgitated a human arm, leading to an unresolved murder investigation.
