‘Arrino’ Huggies

Description

Arrino

Latitude 29° 26′ Longitude 115° 38′

This townsite, located between Three Springs and Mingenew and gazetted in 1904, takes its name from the Aboriginal name of nearby springs, Arrino Well. These springs were recorded as early as 1859, and have been spelt variously as Arranoo, Arronoo and Arrino. An early settler, Mr N W Cooke had a property named “Arrino” here in 1876. The meaning of the Aboriginal word is not known, but one source states it means “many granite hills”.

Special care

Try not to get me wet! Keep me in a dry place to avoid tarnishing. I’ll love you if you love me.
