Lake Weyba
Lake Weyba is a large shallow salt lake in the locality of Noosaville in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland, Australia.
Lake Weyba's name comes from the local Aboriginal Australians (Gubbi Gubbi) language meaning stingray.
Lake Weyba is an important fish-breeding habitat. In the early 1900s, Lake Weyba had a large number of stingrays, which would have been easy targets for spear fishing Aboriginal Australians.
