Peregian - the Emu
Peregian, in the language of the local Indigenous Gubbi Gubbi clan, means ‘emu’, and the Peregian district was home to a large number of emus. The swamp north-west of Emu Hill is known as Emu Swamp and it is certain that the tribesmen hunted emus and swamp wallabies and gathered (Pirridhan/jan) mangrove seeds there.
Peregian Beach is about 160 kilometres north of Brisbane and 13 kilometres south of Noosa Heads. Peregian Beach is one of a string of beautiful beaches between Noosa and Coolum. There is a foreshore reserve along the town's entire length. Just over the sand hills at the southern end of the beach is Peregian Environmental Park, an area of wallum heath which bursts into a colourful profusion of wildflowers in spring.
On the western side of Peregian Beach is Lake Weyba National Park and Lake Weyba itself, which feeds into the estuary at Noosa Heads. Nearby, too, is the southern extension of the Noosa National Park with a rich mix of coastal heath and scrub and stately rainforest which provides sanctuary and support for a wealth of native flora and fauna.
In the centre of Peregian is a friendly beachside village, an ambient and shady village square and a diverse range of shops, cafes and restaurants.
