History

Woogaroo district is named after Woogaroo Creek.  Woogaroo in the Yugara language means a ‘whirlpool’; a second reference suggests it means ‘cool or shady’ [1].  The current suburb of Goodna was originally called Woogaroo.  Goodna is the aboriginal word for “dung”.  Woogaroo district was formed in June 2004 [2].  The first District Commissioner of Woogaroo District was Greg Broad [4].
