Coolum - accommodation, restaurants, things to do

Coolum in Queensland was named after Mount Coolum which itself was derived from an Aboriginal word describing the mount, referring to its blunt or cut-off summit. Land sales in the area can be traced to 1871. A cane tramway was established about 1921 from Nambour and Bli Bli, across the Maroochy River, which included a passenger-carrying facility. It paid dividends, bringing visitors and stimulating the release of Mount Coolum Beach land sub-division in 1922-23. The sub-divider promised "bathing sheds, a golf links and tobogganing on Mount Coolum. Visitors had the choice of surfing, fishing, or dancing at the school of arts". At the 2006 census the population was reported as 7175, a great change from the 95 in 1921.
