History
The townsite was requested by the 14 Mile Brook Progress Association in 1911. The name, derived from a nearby pool, is of Aboriginal origin but its meaning is unknown. Gazetted in 1913,[1] the town did not develop and to this day remains a sparsely populated agricultural area on the edge of the Darling Scarp. Plans by the Shire of Williams to seal its part of the Congelin-Narrogin road are in progress.
gollark: `build` just prints out a bunch of metadata loaded from the `potatOS` API and registry.
gollark: No, I'm not doing that, that would be horrible and no.
gollark: PotatOS Tau uses compression for that, PotatOS Hypercycle will probably do roughly what you said.
gollark: I *was* going to do that for `/bin`, except for the last bit.
gollark: Hmm, it seems that `os.date` can, neat.
