More Than 10 things to do from Tynong to Longwarry

History

The Koo-Wee-Rup and Bunyip area were part of the lands of the Bunurong people of the Kulin nation. When the area was settled by white occupation the area from Bunyip to Koo Wee Rup( Plenty of Blackfish)  was known as the great Koo Wee Rup swamp and the clearing and settling of the area was a major feat in the 1800s. www.kooweerupswamphistory.blogspot.com.au.

Timber was a fairly full on occupation and digging the drains and clearing the land was an enormous challenge. Still now it is very fine productive farmland and the region along the Princes Hwy is starting to become popular for home builders.
