Origins of the name Tangalooma
Do you have a reliable source for this information? The problem is that the meaning "where fish meet" only turns up in modern tourism material, which means there's a fair possibility that the marketing people made it up. The origins of the name were not known to the local Indigenous people back in 1931 (see ) and in 1946 it is claimed that it means "the best place" (see ). The Queensland Government place names website does not list any origin for the name. Kerry (talk) 07:02, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

I've been looking for awhile and recently spoke with the marine research centre about it. They were pretty positive that was the meaning. I was going to dig a little deeper when I got back to find a documented reference. Dvsctt (talk) 00:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
