John and Rosalee

I found the following on the NCC's place names website:

http://www.ncc.nsw.gov.au/services/culture/library/research/localstudies/place.cfm

Area near Blackhill getting its name from the fact that a group of landed entrepeneurs experimented with "tinned meat" often referred to as "tinned dog".

The source for that was quoted as: Hartley,D: Settlers of the Big Swamps.

That website is very useful and was recently listed here by our moderator, MargM. Thanks again Marg for your assistance.
