Lake Weyba
Salt-water lake in km South of Noosa, Queensland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Weyba is a large shallow salt lake in the locality of Noosaville in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland, Australia.[1] Lake Weyba's name comes from the local Aboriginal Australians (Gubbi Gubbi) language meaning stingray.[citation needed] Lake Weyba is an important fish-breeding habitat. In the early 1900s, Lake Weyba had a large number of stingrays, which would have been easy targets for spear fishing Aboriginal Australians.[2]
