In seeking the origin of Robinvale’s early street names, we published a story prior to the celebrations, regarding the source of the name of “Malla Avenue”. The sources of the original story were accounts from older Robinvale residents, and also on information on the Robinvale War Memorial website. We sought clarification from both the website sharing this information, and from Robin Cuttle’s purported descendants still living in Robinvale, and in both instances those sources were unable or unwilling to provide further clarification.
The source provided from this author is that cited by Len Arnott, provided by Jeanette Cuttle Black, daughter of Herbert Cuttle and sister of George Robin Cuttle, our town’s namesake.
