The word Koopartoo may have been Koompartoo
Burnum Burnum (Harry) 1936-1997, Indigenous leader, sportsman, public servant and educator. "Koompartoo, a fresh start or ‘new beginnings”
I wonder if Koopartoo was misspelt and the ‘m’ missed out.
Hubert Alfred Tweedie moved from Cullen Bullen where he was born toKoopartoo in 1953. "The outdoors was in his blood so, in 1953, Grandpa, his mother and "brood" relocated to Koopartoo near Newnes". Ref: Eulogy as read by his granddaughter, Jean Ticehurst, 2004.
