4 years agoThe former farmland at this location was named after three blue gum trees which were planted by Richard and Elizabeth Hyland in memory of three of their children (Henry, Mary Jane and Helena) who died. There was a fourth tree planted for another child who had died but this tree did not survive. The trees became colloquially known by locals as the Three Brothers, hence "Three Brothers’ Corner". The last of the trees was cut down in 1956.
