Coorparoo, Queensland
Coorparoo is a suburb of Brisbane, Australia, located south-east of the CBD.〔 It borders Camp Hill, Holland Park, Greenslopes, East Brisbane, Norman Park and Seven Hills.
==Toponymy==
Coorparoo was chosen as the name of the suburb at a public meeting on 22 March 1875, before which it was known as Four Mile Camp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2006/08/18/1718006.htm )〕 The name Coorparoo is likely derived from an Aboriginal name for Norman Creek, probably recorded by early surveyors as ''Koolpuroom''. The word is thought to refer to either a place associated with mosquitoes, or a sound made by the 'gentle dove'.〔 The latter explanation appears doubtful though, as 'gentle dove' may mean the spotted dove, which was introduced to the area in 1912, long after the name Coorparoo was adopted.〔
