Wanganui Place names

Dayle from Gonville

Just found out there is a place in NSW Australia called Wanganui. "Wanganui, after European settlement, was owned by Mr James Newberry. Child relatives of his visited the property and thought of it as being 'the end of the world'. The name 'Wanganui' was said to have been given the property by one of those children, after the place in New Zealand which translates in Maori as 'big harbour'."
