Hi Chris, I am not too sure about the Petrie bit. My brother now lives in the Garafraxa area that you refer to on our family farm from many years ago but this particular farm was connected to my mother's family not the Petrie's. My best friend is a Moffatt (with two t's) and I will pass this along to her to see if there happens to be any connection.
