Copacabana, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Copacabana is a suburb located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, as part of the Gosford City Council local government area. Copacabana (so named by real estate developers Wilmore and Randell, in the mid twentieth century) is situated at the northern end of MacMasters Beach, the two beaches divided by Cochrane Lagoon. The northern headland of Copacabana beach is Tudibaring point, purported to mean 'place where the waves pound like a beating heart' in the local indigenous language. The bay itself is Allagai, which means 'nest of snakes' in the same language.
The next town north of Copacabana is Avoca Beach. The next town to the west is Kincumber.
