Mount Tamarang (MOUNTAIN), NSW Details
History
The name is written in run boundary descriptions:- Merrigala-Tamarang Mt. (G.G. 1848 page 1237) Bone-Mt. Tamarang (G.G. 1848 page 1238.) Bundalla-Tameran mountain (G.G. 1848 page 1236.)
Description
A mountain located about 12 km ESE of the town of Premer.
Origin
Current in the 1840s. Used in run boundary descriptions in 1848. This name may be a rendering of an Aboriginal name by early squatters but no Aboriginal word of similar sound has been traced. That the name appears in the adjoining county as both mountain and parish name strongly suggests an Aboriginal word of wide significance.
