Mt Ninderry

There is a Dreamtime legend which tells of Coolum, a young warrior, who loved a beautiful aboriginal girl named Maroochy. Another warrior named Ninderry abducted Maroochy. Coolum freed Maroochy and they fled together back to their tribes on the coast.

The enraged Ninderry knocked off Coolum’s head which became Mudjimba Island and Coolum’s body became Mt Coolum. The Spirit God punished Ninderry by turning him into stone and he became Ninderry Crest.

Maroochy's tears are said to have flowed down creating the Maroochy River.
