Coromandel East, and its neighbouring suburb, Coromandel Valley, gain their name from a ship, the Coromandel, which arrived in Holdfast Bay from London in 1837 with 156 English settlers. After the ship reached the shore, some of its sailors deserted, intending to remain behind in South Australia, and took refuge in the hills in the Coromandel Valley region.[4]

History

gollark: If I had to really securely communicate with someone I'd probably try and meet them in person to exchange public keys or something.
gollark: I'm also relatively confident the government doesn't have my *exact* internet history and whatnot, as that's spread over a bunch of sites and details like exactly which site I'm connecting to and which page on it are encrypted now.
gollark: For the few people I can actually convince to use Signal, my communication with them is up to "probably private".
gollark: dis.cool was a great demonstration of that.
gollark: I treat Discord messages and reddit posts as "basically public" anyway.
