Kobble Creek was, in years gone by, predominantly a dairy farming community with some banana and pineapple farming on surrounding hillsides.

Kobble Creek is a rural locality in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Kobble Creek had a population of 654 people.[1]
Geography

The south-eastern boundary of the locality is the Mount Samson Range (27°17′07″S 152°48′45″E / 27.2853°S 152.8126°E).[3] The range includes Mount Kobble (27°16′34″S 152°49′33″E / 27.2761°S 152.8258°E) at a height of 384 metres (1,260 ft). The name Kobble is derived from the Waka language, Garumngar dialect, word kabul meaning carpet snake.[4]
The western part of the locality is mountainous and within the D'Aguilar National Park which extends further west into a number of other localities.[5]
The land use in the eastern part of the locality is a mixture of rural residential housing, grazing on native vegetation and some crop growing.[5]

Kobble Creek was, in years gone by, predominantly a dairy farming community with some banana and pineapple farming on surrounding hillsides. As a farming community, Kobble Creek supported a butter factory, primary school, and railway station, the latter two located near the site of the current Samsonvale Rural Fire Brigade. Following the forced resumption of much of the best farming land in the district to build the North Pine Dam and flood Lake Samsonvale, today the district is predominantly a rural-dormitory zone with very limited farming undertaken.[citation needed]
