I am wondering if anyone can tell me what the Place Name Abbreviation TALL stands for. It is near Nirranda and Allansford as other family members are born in those places. The time period is 1870's. Many thanks Dale

Hi Dale Could be Tallangoork a Parish in the County of Villiers Regards Daryl Povey At 05:00 PM 26/06/2007, you wrote: >I am wondering if anyone can tell me what the Place Name >Abbreviation TALL stands for.

Hi Dale, Usually the Naringal Cudgee area. The Naringal School established in 1877 was originally called the Tallangatta State School but this was changed because of the confusion with the Tallangatta in NE Victoria. The parish of Tallangatta is bounded on the east by the Hopkins River, on the south by the Allansford-Cobden Road (Allansford township was split between Tallangatta and Mepunga parishes), on the east by Rollos Road and on the north by the Mount Emu Creek.What families are you looking at?

I am almost sure that TALL is an abbreviation for the Parish of Tallangata, east of Warrnambool.
