Coorabie is a small town and area in the Australian state of South Australia. It is located far from the big cities. Coorabie is about 675 kilometers (419 miles) north-west of Adelaide, the state capital.
This area is special because it is outside of regular local council boundaries. Instead, it is managed by the Outback Communities Authority. This group helps look after towns in remote parts of South Australia.

Coorabie's History and Development
The town of Coorabie was officially established a long time ago, on February 25, 1915. Later, on February 8, 2001, the larger surrounding area was also officially named a "locality."
In recent years, Coorabie has seen some new developments. Starting in 2015, special facilities were built for helicopters. These helicopters help support important energy projects in the nearby Great Australian Bight. This shows how Coorabie plays a role in bigger regional activities.
