Coolum

What's in a name

Coolum’s name is believed to have derived from the Aboriginal word “gulum” or “kulum” meaning “blunt”. It is assumed this is in reference to Mount Coolum’s flat top and lack of a peak.

The Sunshine Coast is full of Indigenous history, including legends of how Mount Coolum lost its peak! Read more about the Dreamtime Legend here.
