Coorow, Western Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coorow is a town in the Mid West region of Western Australia, 264 kilometres (164 mi) north of Perth, between Carnamah and Moora.
The townsite of Coorow was gazetted in 1893, and the name is derived from the Aboriginal name of a nearby spring, first recorded in 1872. The meaning of the name may be from the word "Curro", which is the Aboriginal word for a variety of Portulaca, or another source gives it as "many mists".[1]
