available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Wongan Hills is a
town in the Shire of Wongan-Ballidu, in the Wheatbelt region of Western
Australia. The town is approximately 182 km north of the State capital
Perth, at an altitude of 286 metres. The town is named for a nearby
range of hills that are found to the north-west of the town, also named
Wongan Hills, which was first recorded in 1836 by Surveyor General of
Western Australia John Septimus Roe. The area was settled by the 1900s,
and in 1911 the town was gazetted and named after the range. "Wongan" is
derived from the Indigenous Australian name "wangan-katta", "wanka" and
"woongan". |
