Section 5 | Our heritage In order to understand our vision, and where we are going, it is important to have a sense of our heritage and where we have come from. The following presents a snapshot of the history of the main townships of Gannawarra. Our indigenous heritage Prior to white settlement, the Barapa-Barapa and Wamba-Wamba Aborigines are thought to have been the area’s original occupants. With the significant discovery of a large burial ground on the edge of Kow Swamp, it is thought that tribes lived in this area 10,000- 15,000 years ago. The first European exploration of the area was in the Cohuna and Kerang districts by Major Mitchell in 1836, with squatters being able to take up leases in the area from the early 1840s. History of Benjeroop, Murrabit and Myall The Benjeroop district was settled under the 1869 Land Act, with the arrival of settlers leading to the construction of a state school soon after. The 1880s was a boom period for the district, with the construction of two new state schools, a bridge over the Loddon River, a post office and Baptist Church. In 1885, the Benjeroop Turf Club held a race meeting. Following WWI, the population of the area grew substantially, given arrival of returned servicemen and women, in addition to British settlers who had been recruited under the Empire Settlement Act.
