Geography

David Low Bridge over Maroochy River in Bli Bli, 2018

A few kilometres inland from the Maroochydore urban area, Bli Bli rises above the wetlands which were, for many years, the home of the Sunshine Coast sugarcane industry. Whilst this industry is all but gone, state government legislation ensures the wetlands will remain an undeveloped Green Space.

The Maroochy River flows through the locality from north-east (Marcoola) to south-east (Pacific Paradise/Maroochydore).[5]

The Yandina-Bli Bli Road enters from the north and the Nambour–Bli Bli Road enters from the west.[6]


History

The name Bli Bli is believed to be derived from the Kabi word bilai meaning sheoak tree (Casuarina glauca).[3][4]

Bli Bli Provisional School opened on 2 April 1901, becoming Bli Bli State School on 1 January 1909.[7][8]

The first Bli Bli post office opened by March 1903 (a receiving office had been open from 1898) and closed in 1954. The current Bli Bli post office opened on 1 October 1987.[9]
