Balwina Land District

The district was created on 13 April 1928, and was defined in the Government Gazette:^[2]

Bounded by lines starting from a point situate South 60 miles from the summit of Mt. Cornish and extending North passing through said summit to the latitude of 19deg. 30 min. South; thence East to the East boundary of the State; thence South to a point due East of the starting point, and thence West to the said starting point.

Landgate's GEONOMA database records that the name was suggested by Assistant Chief Draftsman, G. W. Paris, who stated it was an Aboriginal word meaning "waterhole". The database also notes that on 23 January 1987, the district was extended west to 126°E longitude; however, this was not gazetted.^[3]
