Coogee – Sometimes Smelly, Always Beautiful
Coogee got its name from a local Aboriginal word Koojah, meaning “smelly place” or “smell of the seaweed drying.”
The name came about as a reference to the smell of seaweed washing up on the beach and drying up.
Coogee is a suburb by the beach in the city of Randwick, in the State of New South Wales.
The area is only 8 kilometers from the Sydney Central b\Business district (CBD).
The Tasman Sea, Coogee Bay, and the beach are all near the suburb which makes it a trendy area for families who appreciate beachside life.
It is a safe area for swimming and bonding exercises.
It is among the sectors that make up Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
The earliest settlers in the area were aboriginals who are where the name Coogee came.
When first visitors began arriving in the area, most of the aborigines had left the area due to diseases and chaos with early visitors.
To date, the exact meaning of Coogee remains a mystery despite the presence of a few aborigines in the area.
The suburb’s boundaries consist of two main roads, Clovelly road, and Carrington road as well as Rainbow Street.
The northeast and south-east parts of Coogee open up to the coast.
