'Coomery Roy' in
John Howe's 1819 Field Book

Explorer, John Howe, led the party that discovered the Singleton district. In his explorer's journal on 4 November, 1819, Howe recorded that the Aboriginal name 'Coomery Roy' referred to the Hunter Valley plains.

'...a very heavy fog ENE (which the Natives say is Coomery Roy & more farther a great way) & which appears very extensive being seen as far as the Eye can reach & has much the appearance of the boisterous Ocean... Northerly 3/4 Mile to a Creek called by the Natives Coomery Roy Creek (Doyles Creek) which we cross & keep the same crossing it occasionally... North 1/2 Mile to a forrest hill thinly timbered & said to be leading to Coomery Roy...'
