History of Toorbul
It is thought that the suburb name resembles that of an Aboriginal clan in the area.
Toorbul was surveyed in 1868, and farms were taken up soon afterwards. It continued as a rural community until the 1940s.
During World War II Toorbul Point and Bribie Island were military/defence areas, with Toorbul being used for amphibious and commando training.
