Blink Bonnie name origins in Tocumwal district history
A reader recalls how the area north of Saxton Street near Tocumwal Road earned the name Blink Bonnie after 1888 railway survey land splits. He notes local memories of Fife and Drum tuition, horse sales, cordials depots, and schoolyard football divides by Quinn Street, linking to nearby Toorak.
