Ladys Pass, Vic

The origin of the name is attributed to two stories. One suggests that during the era of horse-drawn coaches, women would disembark and walk through the passage while men pushed the coach. Another recounts a story of bushrangers who, while holding up a coach at the creek crossing, courteously allowed the women to pass unharmed

Melton

Narrabeen

There are a number of theories on the origin of the name "Narrabeen". The most fanciful is that Narrabeen is named after "narrow beans" which the English in the first year of settlement (1788) found and ate from a vine growing over beach sand. Surgeon White indeed recorded getting ill from such beans but this was well north of Narrabeen, near Broken Bay. The name Narrobine Creek appears in 1801 in records relating to two escaped convicts, and thus the name appears to have been in use before then. Another suggestion is that it derives from an Aboriginal word meaning "swan".

Surveyor James Meehan placed the name Narabang Narabang Lagoon on a map in 1814 and thought the word meant swan. According to The Budawa Aboriginal Signage Group Inc., Narrabeen means "source of fresh water". The most popular theory involves Captain Henry Reynolds, a first fleeter who took his family to live near the Narrabeen Lagoon. They were all massacred by escaped convicts turned bushrangers, who burned their homestead. The location was then named after the young Aboriginal girl Narrabine/Narrabeen who tried to assist the victims and helped soldiers capture the killers.
