Jolbin. Should be Joloro-bin, place of green head ants.
Canungra. The meaning, the place of night owl, is doubtful. The name of the owl is karang. Another authority believes it to be the name of a tree. But, due to a conversation with a local aboriginal, I believe that the name should be Gunungai-garara which means a long flat or plain, gunungai, a flat, and garara, long; and that it applied to Surveyor's Flat, sometime called the long flat.
