Hi Denise, Typical, I couldn't find that online page of place names but here are the places starting with WOOR from the Gazetteer. Wooragee Worri Yalloak Woorndoo Wooroonoke And I have to throw this one in, as it's a mouthful! Lake Woolongoowoong-Wirman Good luck!

I sent this at about 9pm our time. I am looking for WOOR which I know is short for Wooragee, but it is also short for other places. Makes it a tad difficult when researching names which crop up all over the place - hard to eliminate possibilities in the families. So whilst thinking about this I realised my bookmarked online site has only a handful of names and of no use. Any site you can suggest would be great. I have other places from time to time that I need to look up.
