Coobowie

Coobowie, located on the eastern coast of the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia, is a delightful little coastal town boasting breathtaking beaches and coastal wetlands, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts.

Just a stone’s throw away, the Coobowie Salt Lakes offer a splendid opportunity for birdwatching, where you might spot a variety of migratory birds. Moreover, the town serves as a gateway to the magnificent Innes National Park, which is merely a short drive from the town centre.

Coobowie has a rich heritage, originally inhabited by the Ngarrindjeri people, the traditional custodians of the land. The name Coobowie is derived from an Aboriginal term meaning "wild fowl water." European settlement commenced in the 19th century, with the area evolving into a fishing and farming community. The town was officially established in 1875 and has retained its charming character ever since.
