A popular spot for caravans and wicked campers to pull up, on the banks of the Agnes River. The river was named in honour of Agnes Louisa La Trobe, by her father Charles during his 1845 exploration of the area.
The following is an excerpt from the "La Trobe Society" website:
In a letter to one of his relatives soon after her fifth birthday her father wrote that: ‘Agnes is a noble little girl… & full of talent, but as wild as a march hare & giddy beyond endurance’; he hoped ‘for her sake as well as her mother’s’, that they would all be able to return to Europe ‘in a year or two ’. At Jolimont her father was keen to pass on to her his love of plants. Meanwhile, her conduct began to deeply trouble her parents who felt that she was being allowed to run wild at Jolimont, and eventually it was decided that Agnes, aged just eight, should be sent to the care of her mother’s family in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, to be properly educated.
Agnes died at the age of 79yrs. The above (and the rest of her story) can be found on the "La Trobe Society" website: Agnes Louisa La Trobe
