Nigel Sinnott's book lists about two thousand place-names, both Aboriginal and European, in the Alexandra and Lake Eildon area. Particular effort has been made to record names of places destroyed or flooded by the Eildon dams. Also included are parts of the Strathbogie Ranges, places along the Mansfield Woods Point Road and the Big River, and localities near Yea, Marysville and Healesville. The gazetteer is beautifully detailed and where possible gives the background and etymology of each name...
