Osborne is a village community in the central east part of the Riverina. It is situated by road, about 15 kilometres south from Lockhart and 19 kilometres (12 mi) west from Woodend.
Gumholes Post Office opened on 1 September 1900, was renamed Osborne in 1902 and closed in 1951.[1]
Sport and Recreation
[edit]The Osborne Football Club was first established in 1900 as the Napier South FC. The new community around Gum Holes Creek came together and organised a social game of football against Lockhart. This team was called ‘Napier South’ and were affectionally known as "The Gumholes".[2] The game was played on some cleared land on Fraser's farm near the present day Uniting Church. Even though Napier South only scored one goal, they thought it was a good attempt against a regular team from Lockhart.
In 1915 the Gum Holes School was granted a change in name to Osborne, so when the football club reformed in 1919, after the war, it became Osborne Football Club.[3]
