Melbourne, Victoria, Australia: Alan J. Dunlop, 1978. 205 pages b/w photos - Yarrawonga is a town on the Murray River, 215 km. north-north-east of Melbourne. It is linked to Mulwala, on the opposite side of the river in New South Wales, by road and railway, and the Mulwala munitions factory is a source of employment for residents of Yarrawonga. Lake Mulwala (1939) on the Murray River has recreational frontages to Mulwala and Yarrawonga. Yarrawonga was named after a pastoral station taken up by Elizabeth Hume (sister-in-law of the explorer, Hamilton Hume), in1842. The name is thought to be derived from an Aboriginal word meaning place where the wonga pigeon rested, or water running over rock. Elizabeth Hume´s homestead, Byramine, was built in 1842 and is on the Australian and Victorian historic buildings registers. It is in the locality of Burramine,which is about 14 km. west of Yarrawonga. A police camp was established at Yarrawonga in about 1850. In 1868 a town was surveyed at Yarrawonga, occupying the four blocks bounded by Witt, Hume, Orr, and Hovell Streets near the river. Town blocks further south were surveyed in 1875 and 1886. The railway from Melbourne reached Yarrawonga in 1886. A bridge across the river to Mulwala was built in 1891. With the opening of the railway wheat and livestock were easily transported to Melbourne markets and the township rapidly grew from a few hundred persons to over one thousand. In 1878 the Yarrawonga shire was created, extending from Cobramin the west to the Ovens River in the east and southwards to the boundary of Benalla shire. The shire´s area of 813 sq. miles was trimmed down to 220 sq. miles by 1891, which remained its area until amalgamation in 1994. Even before the coming of the railway in 1886, Yarrawonga township had two banks, four hotels, three churches, several stores, a school (1876),a newspaper and two flour mills. The district boasted that it grew some of the best wheat in Australia. In 1891 a second newspaper was published, hotels numbered six and town water was reticulated. The Shire of Tungamah was a local government area in the Goulburn Valley region about 240 kilometres (149 mi) northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 1,143 square kilometres (441.3 sq mi), and existed from 1878 until 1994. Tungamah was once part of the vast Echuca Road District, formed in 1864 and a shire from 1871, which extended along the south bank of the Murray River from Mount Hope Creek in the west to the Ovens River in the east. Tungamah was first incorporated as the Shire of Yarrawonga on 15 May 1878. On 17 April 1891, the East Riding, which contained the town of Yarrawonga, was severed and incorporated as the Shire of North Yarrawonga. As such, the shire was renamed Tungamah after its main town on 17 February 1893, and North Yarrawonga was renamed Yarrawonga on 12 May 1893. On 1 April 1953, the North West Riding also severed, becoming the Shire of Cobram. On 18 November 1994, the Shire was abolished, and merged with the Shires of Cobram, Nathalia, Numurkah and Yarrawonga into the Shire of Moira. The Katandra West district, meanwhile, was transferred to the City of Greater Shepparton.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Good/No Jacket.
