Township 13 km to the northwest of Colac. The name Coragulac is derived from the local aboriginal word, 'corakyallock', meaning a sandy creek.
Coragulac is dominated by St Brendan's Roman Catholic Church and the adjoining primary school (below). Until 2009, the nearby Good Samaritan Centre was run by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan of the Order of St Benedict. |
Cororooke is a small township 11 km northwest of Colac. The name is derived from the local aboriginal language, 'korerook', meaning brolga or native companion. Cororooke was once a major player in the Australian onion industry. The Fonterra factory, which closed in 2015, dominates the town. It can be seen clearly across Lake Colac from Colac, and produced mozzarella and ricotta cheeses as well as cream and whey powders for domestic and export markets.
