Interesting facts about this location
Captains Flat, New South Wales
Captains Flat is a town in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, in Palerang Shire. It is south of Queanbeyan. It is suggested that a bullock named "Captain" from Foxlow station, 12 km away, grazed here and hence the place name. The area was originally inhabited by Ngarigo Aboriginal people prior to European settlement. The town formed as a result of mining for gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and iron pyrites in the hills surrounding the upper reaches of the Molonglo River.
