Wonwondah

Wonwondah is a rural district in western Victoria, 20 km south of Horsham and 260 km north-west of Melbourne. It was named after the Wonwondah pastoral run (1843) and it is thought that the word was derived from an Aboriginal expression describing a small bush or swamp. The district is mainly flat, crossed by the Mackenzie River and other creeks from the foothills of the western Grampians. In the 1990s VicRoads atlases there were four Wonwondah place names, but in the 2007 edition there was none.
