Hi Alan, I was there last Monday and I think I read that it was originally called
Coopers Creek but cannot remember if it had an apostrophe in it, then it was changed to plain Cooper.

ROHB was actually the Superintendent of police at Beechworth prior to winning the position with the Victorian expedition. Do I get 1/2 a point?
Cheers Mick

He may
well have been Mick, but he was probably a lot of things before the expedition. A chance for up to 5 points next week mate :))
