  Cooranbong - New South Wales - Australia - Travel - smh.com.au
'Cooranbong' comes from the language of the area's earlier inhabitants, the Awabakal Aborigines, and is said to mean 'rocky bottom creek' or 'water over rocks' - presumably references to Dora Creek which runs eastwards from the settlement to Lake Macquarie.
Cooranbong also benefited from its role as a a staging post on the trek between Sydney and Newcastle.
Cooranbong is probably the best town to access the 13 forests scattered throughout the Watagan Mountains which lie to the west of Lake Macquarie and the Tuggerah Lakes.

  Morisset
The spelling of "Morisset" is constantly a cause of confusion — it appears that the town's name was misspelt at its foundation in 1888, and that most histories of the area today misspell Captain Morrisset's name due to an expectation that it should be spelt the same as the town.
The earliest settlement in the area was at Cooranbong in 1826, to the west of the current town and near the foot of the Wattagan Mountains[?].
Cooranbong (and nearby Martinsville and Avondale) maintain a separate identity to this day, and no doubt many residents would object to be lumped together with Morisset in this article.
