Caboolture is a town near the state capital of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia.
The Caboolture area is the traditional home of the Kabi Aboriginal people. The name 'Kabultur' is derived from the Yugarabul dialect meaning 'place of the carpet snake'.
The Caboolture area was first settled in 1842 when the land around the Moreton Bay penal colony was opened up to free settlers. Due to its proximity to Brisbane, Caboolture was one of the first areas of the state opened up to European settlement.
Caboolture may be just 40 minutes from Downtown Brisbane but the beautiful area is a world of its own. It is a diverse area in every sense with sandy beaches, stunning mountain ranges and charming country villages (Caboolture Shire).
Cabooluture is home to the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology which holds a vast collection of priceless antiques and art from up to 250 000 years ago. In accordance with the historical theme is Cabooltuer's Historical village which features a collection of restored buildings.
However, few attractions can compete with the appeal of the Pumicestone Passage and the internationally recognised marine sanctuary off Bribie Island. It is home to an array of compelling species like dolphins, dugongs, turtles and over 350 species of birdlife!
Bribie island is an easy 20 minute drive from Caboolture and in itself is a popular tourist attraction - renown for excellent fishing waters, surf beaches and National Parks.
Back on the mainland the Caboolture scenic areas of Woodford and Mount Mee showcase the area in its true natural beauty.
