Coorparoo and Coorparoo Shire
Coorparoo is an inner suburb of Brisbane, 4 km south-east of central Brisbane. The name probably derived from an Aboriginal word describing Norman Creek and its tributaries, as it refers to mosquitoes, or possibly the sound made by a dove. Coorparoo is on the eastern side of Norman Creek, a southern tributary of the Brisbane River.
