Greetings all, I am hoping someone in the Alexandra area can tell me where Whanregarwen is and whether it is a town or a locality, and how close it is to Scrubby Creek? Although I was born in Alex, I cannot now envisage how close these places are. My grandfather's property was always described as Scrubby Creek but in his Will a property at Wharegarwen is mentioned - same place? Also Koriella, was that just a short buggy ride to visit the above neighbours? With thanks to anyone able to straighten me out on this one. Marg A. Names I am researching in this area are: KEMP, PALMATEER, POPPLE, DOCKING, FELL, BOYCE
In VicRoads Country Directory, Koriella is on map 62 C4, abt 10 kilometers northwest of Alexandra. Whanregarwen Road runs parallel to the Goulburn River a couple of kilometers to the south of the river, and Scrubby Creek Road runs south from Whanregarwen Road. Hope this helps, Mike Skurrie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil & Marg Andrews" <nandrews@caloundra.net> To: <AUS-VIC-CENTRAL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 7:07 PM Subject: [AVC] Alexandra localities > Greetings all, > I am hoping someone in the Alexandra area can tell me where Whanregarwen is > and whether it is a town or a locality, and how close it is to Scrubby > Creek?
