Location: Cooranbong is a town situated in the Lake Macqaurie Region of New South Wales.
Origin of Name: The name Cooranbong was given to the area by Australian Aboriginies, who used it as a battleground, and
literally means "bloody
hole". This name was chosen not because of the
blood spilled on it's soil, but rather because the victors of the battles would
soon realise that there was nothing to do in Cooranbong and would often leave muttering, "bloody hole".
Demographics: The township of Cooranbong, which was first established by Lieutenant
Percy Simpson in 1826, is now made up of retirees (20%), Seventh
Day Adventists(25%), FOBS (15%), and bogans/assorted riff raff (40%). Cooranbong's youth tend to either move out of Cooranbong as fast as they can or deny that they live there.
Industry: Those who live in Cooranbong either claim
government assistance or work at the Sanitarium Health
Food Company, which produces Cooranbongs major export, weet-bix.
Tourist Attractions: A major attraction in Cooranbong is the nightlife, which ranges from getting drunk in Cooranbong park to getting stoned in Cooranbong park.
Future outlook: With the youth moving out of Cooranbong at an everincreasing rate and the influx of retirees and bogans, Cooranbong will
soon become shunned by the rest of the world. Even the Apocaplyse will side step Cooranbong.
