Coblinine is a rural locality of the Shire of Katanning in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The Coblinine Nature Reserve, situated along the Coblinine River, is located in Coblinine.[1] [2]

History

The larger eastern part of the Shire of Katanning, up to Katanning itself and including Coblinine, is located on the traditional land of the Koreng people.[3] [4] The smaller western part, west of Katanning, is located on the traditional land of the Kaneang people, with both being of the Noongar nation.[5] [6] [7]

The name Coblinine is of Koreng origin, meaning "all of the stomach intestines and navel, river-like, are here sitting".[8]

Nature reserves

The Coblinine Nature Reserve, which spans most of the length of the Coblinine River, was gazetted on 4 September 1908, has a size of 41.67km2, and is located within the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion. The reserve stretches from the Katanning-Nyabing Road in the south, in Ewlyamartup, to Dumbleyung Lake in the north, in the Shire of Dumbleyung.[2] [9]

Two unnamed nature reserves are also located within Coblinine, both adjacent to the Coblinine Nature Reserve, the WA27481 and WA24282 Nature Reserves. The former is fully within the locality, the other one only partially. WA27481 was gazetted on 7 May 1965, with a size of 1.07km2 and WA24282 was gazetted on 23 September 1955, with a size of 3.09km2. Both are also in the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion.[9]
