Placenames, prepositions and space on Norfolk Island

The name Camden Haven is officially recognised by the Geographical Name Register of NSW as the name of a parish, river, estuary and inlet, trig. station, two parks and a school, all situated on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, approximately 30km south of Port Macquarie (see Figure 1, page 3). However, in the past confusion must have been common. The villages currently named Kendall and Laurieton have both been named Camden Haven, and Laurieton was once named Peach Orchard. The names shifted over time between villages and became somewhat confusing for some, such as postal services and telegraph lines.
