Caboolture, Administrative division in Moreton Bay, Australia.
Caboolture extends across 1,224 square kilometers on the northern edge of Brisbane, featuring both urban development and agricultural lands along the Caboolture River.
The region transformed from a penal colony settlement in 1842 to a vital trading center by 1867, serving settlers and miners traveling between Brisbane and Gympie goldfields.
The name originates from the Yugarabul language meaning 'place of the carpet snake', where Gubbi Gubbi people traditionally gathered fresh water mussels and native produce.
The Caboolture railway station connects to Brisbane through the QR Citytrain network while the D'Aguilar Highway provides access across the Great Dividing Range.
The Caboolture Regional Art Gallery maintains an AAA rating for international exhibitions, while the local airfield houses a collection of historical warplanes.
