Origin of the name

[edit]

Does anyone know the origin of the name of this suburb? Were tehre famous people with that surname in the area in the nineteenth century or something? --Scott Davis Talk 12:24, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"William Scott Harkness born Roxburghshire, Scotland 1839. Arrived Melbourne 1852 (Port Phillip). Manager of Strathtulloh & farmer. Died 1908" [1]. Another article with a few references to his family: [2]. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:15, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. He doesn't look like an ancestor/relative I was looking for. I've added the info to the article. --Scott Davis Talk 06:48, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
