Sippy Downs

Sippy Downs, a residential suburb with a significant range of educational institutions, is on the Sunshine Motorway as it approaches the southern part of Mooloolaba. Over half the suburb is occupied by the Mooloolah River National Park in the east, a mixture of marshland, sand flats and forested grassland. It was named after the Sippy Creek, itself named after an Aboriginal word thought to mean birds.
