SCHEDULE 
PUBLIC PLACE NAMES 2003, NO. 20 (Street Nomenclature - Lyons)
Division of Lyons: Tasmanian towns and places 
NAME
	ORIGIN
	SIGNIFICANCE
	
Colebrook Street	Colebrook, Tasmania	Tasmanian Town
The district was first named Jerusalem Plains. A tradition held that Jorge Jorgenson named it when a District Constable was searching for stock thieves. 

However, the district was marked on Thomas Scott's chart of 1824 and was still named that in 1832.

By February 1834 it was called Colebrook Dale, although the use of both names continued for many years. In March 1894 the name Colebrook was officially gazetted.

Wynyard Street	Wynyard, Tasmania	Tasmanian Town
The town of  Wynyard was proclaimed on 22 February 1861 named after General Edward Buckley Wynyard.
It is situated on the north west coast 16 kilometres west of Burnie.  It began life as a fishing port and is now the centre of a large farming community.
	
Oatlands Street	Oatlands, Tasmania	Tasmanian town
Oatlands is an historic town north of Hobart. It was named by Governor Lachlan Macquarie  after 'Oatlands Park' - one of the estates of his patron King George.
Oatlands is the largest town in the Southern Midlands area and was very nearly Tasmania's first Capital City.  It was developed as a military base for the control and management of convicts. The military presence was  necessary as Oatlands was too far from both Launceston and Hobart to obtain help if it was needed against bushrangers, escaped convicts and the aboriginal population.
