'''Woolloongabba''' is an inner suburb of [[Brisbane]], [[Australia]] located 1km south of the [[Brisbane CBD]]. Its name is derived from an [[Indigenous Australians|Aboriginal]] word for water holes.

Experts are divided regarding the Aboriginal meaning of the name, preferring either 'whirling waters' (''woolloon'' and ''capemm'') or 'fight talk place' (''woolloon'' and ''gabba'').<ref>[http://www.ourbrisbane.com/living/suburbs/woolloongabba/history/ Our Brisbane History]</ref> The locals refer to it as The Gabba. <ref>Ibid.</ref>
