" To my mind, the immigrant who disgraces an Australian river, or mountain, or town-site, or locality of any kind, with the name of his own insanitary European birthplace is guilty of a presumption which amounts to unpardonable impudence."

- Joseph Furphy (1843 Yering-1912 Perth) -aka 'Tom Collins' a nickname for 'an unreliable source'. Strangely, Furphy's own surname came to be a commonplace term in Australia, meaning, funnily enough, an unreliable source, or an unverifiable but often true story. And that's no furphy.

I LIKE THE NATIVE NAMES

"I like the native names,as Parramatta,
- And Illawarra, and Woolloomooloo;
Nandowra, Woogarora, Bulkomatta,
- Tomah, Toongabbie, Mittagong, Meroo;
Buchobble, Cumleroy, and Coollangatta,
- The Warragumby, Bargo, Burradoo;
Cookbundoon, Varrabauga, Wingecarribee,
The Wollondilly, Yurumbon, Bungarribee.

I hate your Goulburn Downs and Goulburn Plains,
- And Goulburn River and the Goulburn Range,
And Mount Goulburn and Goulburn Vale! One's brains
- Are turned with Goulburns! Vile scorbutic mange
For immortality! Had I the reins
- Of Government for a fortnight, I would change
These Downing Street appellatives, and give
The country names that deserve to live."

- Rev. John Dunmore Lang (1799-1878)
quoted in 'Bards in the Wilderness' -by Brian Elliot and Adrian Mitchell
- (Melbourne, 1970), p.29

Are the Pommie (English) or the new names any better? or worse? -

I like names that remember some reality, a happening, or someone real. Let them be unalloyed and fresh raw Australian as Dry Creek, Brown's Waterholes, Burning Plains, Red Gum Flat, Beagley's Bridge, Saltwater River, and so forth.

If they're English forms let them be those in Australian usage, such as creek - rather that brook, paddocks - rather than meadows, plains - rather that heath, flat - rather than place, bush - rather than wood, etc.

Worst are named as realtor's spin. The land agents and property developers always appeal with sudivision names to the lowest commonest denominator, such as in pet or childish human dreams stuck in maudlin repetition, like old security blankets, with platitudes and the falseness such as limp nostalgia for the old country, that as have given rise to many nausiating names in Australian suburbs, such is in Melbourne suburbia: - Doncaster, Surrey Hills, Brighton, Croydon, Hampton, Canterbury, Bayswater, Notting Hill, Cheltenham, Malvern, Armadale, Chelsea, Ivanhoe etc -

Or else those evocative of the romance of soft-headed dreams of displacement as if it was hope, using essentially bowdlerised terms like park, or meadows, or dale, or grove, or glen, or brook, and even vale rather than valley - terms evocative of more verdant lands, in place names like Albert Park, Middle Park, Vermont, Roxburgh Park, Endeavour Hills, Caroline Springs, even Broadmeadows, Altona Meadows, Westmeadows, Park Orchards, to the double abominations such as Parkdale, Lynbrook, Ashwood, Eastwood, or Hampton Park.

A Post Office of that name (with a fortnightly mail delivery) opened on 1 May 1873 (relocated to the township of Krambruk in 1881 and renamed Apollo Bay in 1898).[4] During this period almost all access to the area was by sea. The township of Krambruk (later to be renamed Apollo Bay) was established in 1877, and a school was open by 1880.

The first permanent settlement in the area was by squatter Edward Khull at Tallygaroopna which a man named Sherbourne Sheppard was to take over two years later. Sheppards holding developed into a village adjacent to the Goulburn River known as "Sheppardton". During the 1850s, the nearby village was a popular river crossing point for miners travelling from the Bendigo goldfields to the new finds in the Beechworth area. As there was no bridge to link either sides of the Goulburn River, entrepreneur Patrick Macguire set up a punt service in 1850 and the settlement became known as "Sheppardton or Macguire's Punt".
