Jan, You can view the old parish and pastoral maps at www.lpi.nsw.gov.au/maps/pmap/ . Cooyal is listed as a Parish in the county of Phillips (Mudgee/Gulgong area). That's not to say that Cooyal wasn't a property. A lot of parishes and towns were named after the original properties. You can zoom in on the maps and if you hunt around, you will probably find a "Cooyal Homestead".
