Purrumbete South

Purrumbete South is a rural locality in western Victoria, 12 km east of Cobden. It was named after Purrumbete pastoral run taken up in 1838 by John and Peter Manifold. The Manifolds settled around the freshwater Lake Purrumbete (most lakes on the basalt plains are salty), and developed a large pastoral estate. Their Purrumbete homestead was on the north side of the lake at Weerite.
