Miss. O. Quinn,
Wahpunga,
KIN KIN.

Dear Madam,

Your letter received with regards to enquiries to native meaning
of particular words, unfortunately some of these cannot be obtained, but
for your information listed hereunder are the ones we have been able
to find out.

Kin Kin - Small Water Hole
Coondoo - Bark Humpy
Boreen - Fire Place

Cherbourg -originally this Settlement was called Barambah
the meaning of which is Wind.

To the best of aboriginal knowledge Cherbourg is not an
aboriginal name.

Yours faithfully,

Superintendent
