[edit]

Since coolibah can be found anything up to 20 kilometres from permanent water along flood plains I've altered the reference that suggests that it is only found near springs and permanent water.

Also altered the Waltzing Matilda reference. Unless things have changed recently the Coolbah found at Blackall (where WM was set) is still E. coolabah, not a closely related species.

I'm also fairly certain that E. coolabah grows to more than 15 metres in height but I'll check with Broker and Kleinig.

But the article still says "...is a eucalypt of riparian zones and is found throughout Australia from arid inland to coastal regions." How can it be riparian and grow in the arid inland?ExpatSalopian (talk) 23:59, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

[edit]

Can anyone confirm the 'correct' spelling? Different authors seem to be using 'coolibah' and 'coolabah'. Can we please either consistently use one, or else mention that two alternatives exist? DIV 128.250.204.118 01:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Most common usage is "Coolibah" for the common name with "Coolabah" restricted to the species name. However since this is an Anglicisation of an Aboriginal word both spellings are used with some frequency.[[User:Ethel Aardvark|Ethel Aardvark]
The terms "Coolibah" and "Coolabah" are the same, they orginate from the Indigenous australian Yuwaaliyaay word, gulabaa, Since all indigenous australian languages are oral, there are many different interpretations as to how to spell it.

Images

[edit]

The images used are a little large and they dominate the article. They should be made smaller.

Why does the Orlando Coolabah wine brand direct here?

Not sure how to fux, but it needs to be changed

Dig Tree

[edit]

I've siginificantly expanded the article and have included a bit on the dig tree in the see also section. According to the ref I've used it is E. coolabah but in the Dig Tree article it is E. microtheca. Does anyone have any expertise in this area and take a look?
