Living in Yarrabilba
Yarrabilba's name means "place of song"
Yarrabilba’s name comes from the Wangerriburra and Bundjalung language for "place of song". The area had two bora rings where ceremonies involving singing took place. The Canungra railway line ran through the district until it closed in 1955. In World War II the US Army’s Camp Cable held up to 35,000 soldiers at one time, and from 1966 a slash pine plantation was grown in what was Kairabah.
The Buzz is a community centre in the suburb, operated by the YMCA, and opened in December 2022. A Coles supermarket is mapped in the suburb, and so are Darlington Parklands, McKinnon Sports Park, Borrol Lookout Park, Camp Cable Park, Buxton Lake, a dog park, a community garden and Plunkett Conservation Park.

South Rock opened at the start of 2023, built in its first stage for about 800 students and for more than 1,300 when complete.
State secondary schools: the whole suburb is in the catchment of Yarrabilba State Secondary College, which opened in 2020, for Years 7 to 12.
