Woorim

About Woorim

Woorim is a town and suburb on the south-eastern corner of Bribie Island in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, bounded by the Coral Sea to the east and Moreton Bay to the south. The name may derive from the Kabi language word wurama meaning red backed sea eagle. Most of the north and west is within Bribie Island National Park. Bribie Island Fortifications were constructed between 1939 and 1943 as part of World War II defence of southeast Queensland providing artillery training for Australian soldiers and are listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. The Bribie Island Research Centre, a Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries aquaculture research facility, is at 144 North Street. Woorim Beach and Bald Point on the southern beach are popular attractions.
