Title: Cockburn Range- Kimberley
Post by: Moto Mech on February 05, 2012, 12:02:19 PM

Just watched a repeat of Pat Callinans 4x4 Adventure's and noticed he called these the Coburn Ranges. So I done a google search and got a couple of hits for Coburn but mostly Cockburn.
Ive always called them the Cockburn Ranges so is Patskie wrong or are they known by both names?

We were corrected by people at El Questro last year, who have the lease on the Cockburn Range.  It is spelt - Cockburn, but pronounced, Coburn.   Kevin

Your right KrisandKev We did a job one time and his surname was "Cockburn" It was funny when one of the office calls said "Hello Mr Cockburn"  ;D he wasn't to happy!

A bit like k-nee & k-nife but easier than D-El.  Only the poms could spell D-El Dalziel! :laugh:
