Coobowie is a small town at the south-eastern tip of Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. Coobowie was proclaimed in 1875. Coobowie comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "wild fowl water".[1] At the 2011 census, Coobowie had a population of 220. Coobowie's current outlook is to create many new features, including a new visitor information pull in being built.[according to whom?] The cafe also has a florist.[citation needed] Coobowie is an aging community, and because of this, there is a large real estate market currently, with very low prices.[citation needed]
