Hi Marg & Gwen I have been trying to find the URL for the 1832 Post Office Directory, which is an online book, but have been unable to find it, instead I will quote some of the text for you, but if you want a copy I can send it to you, but it is 1,441 kbs much easier for you to download if I can find the URL. Quote; 1832 Post Office Directory To the west of the Inlet, the land is rocky and useless, and remains unlocated. To the east, between the Inlet and the Sea, are numerous locations on bits of the finest alluvial soil; the country being much broken up by secondary inlets from Brisbane Water and the sea, known as Cockle Creek Broadwater, Cockrone, and Bulbararing, as well as by some navigable Creeks, known as Erina, King-Cumber, Egan Creek, &c. The road commences at the head of the inlet, about a mile east of the mouth of the Narara, a navigable Creek. From this neighbourhood is the track westerly to Twelve-mile Hollow, at 59 ½ miles, and that to the north-west, along the continuous range to Mt. M'Quoid, at 79 miles from Sydney (see great North Road, page 124). To the east is a track passing through Bean's farm, and by Tarrigul Lagoon, along the coast to Holden's farm, at a place called Tuggarah, the mouth of the Tuggarah Lakes. Tuggarah as is well known, means "cold" in the native dialect, and the points there being low and exposed to the sea breeze and southerly gales, are cold and bleak, whence the name. ¼ On the left is the Watch -house, 1¼ Enter the estate of F.

Manning and T. M'Quoid, Esquires, further to the right is the grant of Matcham, to the left is that of Holt. 8 ½ Cross Tuggerah Creek; to the south-east, towards the sea is a track of the richest land heavily timbered, and quite unlocated.
