[QUOTE="Jackthehound, post: 395092, member: 3037"] No sorry Manpa I originated from gold being discovered in Western Australia in 1886. My name comes from the Aboriginal name of a nearby river. My population was 1,500 prior to World War II, now only about 200 remain. Between 1895 and 1914 I boomed and contained a number of general stores, three hotels, eight stamp mills and a population of over 3,000. I was surveyed in 1897 and gazetted in 1899. Besides gold other minerals were mined in the area including diamonds and other gemstones. [/QUOTE]
