Coolabunia is a locality in the South Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia.[1]

History

The locality name is derived from the Waka language, Bujiebara dialect, Gowrburra clan words "koala" and "buani" (meaning sleeping), as the area was a camp site on Aboriginal walking tracks to the Bunya Mountains.[1]
