Coochin Creek

Download coordinates as: Coochin Creek is a coastal locality in the south of the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.

Pumicestone Passage is very narrow at that point and congested with low unnamed mangrove islands.

[4] The name Coochin is derived from the Kabi word kut'dhin referring to the red clay or pigment used for body painting.

A mail service was established to Mellum Creek and Coochin saw-mills in January 1883.

James Campbell was however opposed to unions – he believed that employers should be benevolent and should "do good for others".

The balls consisted of a grand supper, performances of singers and actors and then the floor was cleared for dancing.

After the opening of the railway, James Campbell and his sons moved the mill to Albion in Brisbane.

The North Coast railway line had made it easier to transport logs and timber by rail than by ship.

[15] James Campbell and Sons still logged softwoods and pine in the area up until the 1930s but the timber was railed to Brisbane for milling.

On 10 July 1952, another Coochin Creek State School opened, but it closed on 11 March 1962.
