thread_title:  1928 Coniston Massacre 

message: The article states the town is named after John Henry Barrow (1817-1874, preacher, journalist and politician, but without a reference can we be certain?  I say this because there was another John Barrow, C.E. who is described in "Notable South Australians: or Colonists, Past & Present" published in 1885:
"A USEFUL and respected colonist who arrived in Adelaide 
in 1850, and died at Mount Gambler in September 
1872. In July 1850 he was appointed Engineer of the 
South Eoad under the Central Boad Board, and held that 
position till the breaking out of the Victorian gold-fields, when 
all departments were disorganized, and he followed the stream 
to Melbourne. Arriving there in December 1852, he was 
appointed by the Engineers* Department to examine and 
report upon the best means of improving the Western District, 
and was engaged in that capacity for three years. He 
examined various harbours and superintended the construction 
of roads, bridges, and public works. Mr. Barrow was 
appointed engineer to the Portland Boad District in 1856, 
and retained that office till 1867, when he resigned, and 
settled at Mount Giimbier in 1868. He entered warmly into 
most schemes for the development and improvement of the 
district, and among other things made a careful survey of 
Port MacDonnell, and showed the feasibility of making docks."

Is there any corroborating evidence either way as to who was the inspiration for "Barrow Creek"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.212.7.70 (talk) 18:10, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
