Its name comes from Hinchinbrook Creek which runs through the suburb. The creek was named after a property in adjacent Cecil Hills which had belonged to former Supreme Court Judge Barron Field, who in turn had named the property after the English estate of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History of our suburbs: Green Valley )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History of our suburbs: Cecil Hills )〕 A Hinchinbrook Post Office was open from 1 August 1883 until 1885. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hinchinbrook, New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
