Corryong, the town
...a place in the KellyGang story
Location
on
road from Wodonga to the Kosciusko National Park, near Wodonga
Beechworth Khancoban
Beginnings
Original settlement at Koetong
The original people of the area were the Pallanganmiddang Aborigines.
Variously, "Corryong" could be either the red clay used in ceremonies, a bandicoot, or a possum-skin belt. Apparently the first possibility is the closest to the original language word.
