Download coordinates as: Woongoolba is a coastal rural locality in the northern part of City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

It was referred to as an island because there were a number of lagoons and swamps that isolated the area during the wet season; however, this disadvantage made it good land for growing sugar cane.

[9] The Pimpama Island Provisional School opened on 17 April 1876 under the direction of teacher Joseph Schindler with 13 pupils (of German parentage).

There were once other sugar mills in the area, but they have now closed and Rocky Point has expanded to replace their lost capacity.

[13] On Friday 13 July 1917, the Pimpama Island Public Hall was officially opened by James Stodart, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Logan.

[15] In December 2016, the prawn industry in Woongoolba was disrupted by an outbreak of white spot virus.

[18] in July 2019 the Heck family homestead "‘Friedensheim" (House of Peace), then at 129 Mill Road, opposite the Rocky Point Sugar Mill (27°44′04″S 153°19′35″E / 27.7345°S 153.3263°E / -27.7345; 153.3263 (Heck family homestead "‘Friedensheim" (former location))), was divided into three pieces and relocated to the Beenleigh Historical Village, an open-air museum.
