Coomera

Coomera post office, 16 km north west of Southport. There were two separate post offices. The first one opened on 1 April 1869 and was renamed Coomera Upper in around 1890 to avoid confusion with the nearby Coomera Township post office, which opened on 18 September 1875 and had been renamed Coomera on 3 September 1889
