Woombye, Rural settlement in Sunshine Coast Region, Australia
The Sunshine Coast hinterland settlement extends along the North Coast railway line, surrounded by agricultural lands and natural vegetation of Queensland.
Established in 1868 as Cobbs Camp, the town served as a staging point for stagecoaches traveling between Brisbane and the Gympie goldfields.
The name originates from Aboriginal language, meaning place of black snake or black myrtle, reflecting the indigenous connection to the land.
The Bruce Highway forms the eastern boundary while the North Coast railway line provides transportation through the western section of Woombye.
The town marks the location of Queensland's first commercial pineapple farm, established in 1895, leading to significant agricultural development.
