Hi Janet,
Burramine, Tungamah are very near to Yarrawonga; which is situated in
NE Victoria on the Murray River, directly north of Benalla. Benalla used to
be on the Hume Hwy, and now been bypassed in the newer hwy system.
Kangaroo Flat, Sandhurst--Bendigo was called Sandhurst Town in the
beginning. Kangaroo Flat is still a southern suburb of Bendigo, In Central
Victoria.
Burrumbeet-- is situated at the northern end of a substantial lake
bearing the same name. On the Western Hwy, WNW from Ballarat.

Regards,
Meagan in a very dry Gold Coast
