West of Daylesford, Victoria on the Midland Highway. Until 1872, called Blanket Flat, the town takes its name from John Egan who secured a lease of land here in 1848.[3] The land had originally been taken up by J.W. Berry in 1840.[4][page needed] The area contains the Deep Creek Mineral Spring and Corinella Spring.
Deep Creek Post Office opened on 21 January 1861, was renamed Egan's Town in 1872 and Eganstown around 1917, closing in 1969.[5]
Corinella Runedit
The Corinella Run was on Deep Creek and John Egan ran sheep there.[4][page needed] Egan took the name Corinella from the Aboriginal place name Koorinella, which means a place where kangaroos drink.[3]
