'''''Eucalyptus coolabah''''' is a [[Eucalyptus|eucalypt]] of [[riparian zones]] and is found throughout [[Australia]] from arid inland to coastal regions. The plant is commonly called coolibah or coolabah, the name being a [[loanword]] from the [[Indigenous Australian]] [[Yuwaaliyaay]] word, ''gulabaa''.<ref>The Macquarie Concise Dictionary, The Macquarie Library, Sydney, 1998, ISBN 0949757950</ref>.

Propagation is dependent on periods of immersion under water to sterilise seedbeds and as a result the species is restricted to locales that experience at least periodic flooding. Nonetheless the tree can be found over extensive areas of floodplain far from permanent water as well as near seasonally flooded springs or close to permanent bodies of water. The name ''coolabah'' is mentioned in the song ''[[Waltzing Matilda]]''.[[Image:Riparian_co(contracted; show full){{Myrtaceae-stub}}
