The name comes from an Aboriginal word from the tribes around Moreton Bay which refers to the pathway that led between two bora rings.[2]
Boreen Point is home to the Apollonian Hotel, a historic inn that was moved from Gympie, Queensland and rebuilt in Boreen Point.
Geography
One of Boreen Point's major attractions is Lake Cootharaba, a very large, shallow lake that is recognised nationally for its fantastic weather for sailing and windsurfing. The lake leads from the Noosa River and also up to national parks.
