Another historic town which dates back prior to the 1840's and still retains today, all of it's charm of yesteryears is 'Millthorpe', known as Spring Grove until 1884.
Mail and parcels were continually getting lost because there were so many similarly named places on the rail line so the name was changed to Millthorpe.
