on road from Wodonga to the Kosciusko National Park, near [[Wodonga (2)|Wodonga]] [[Beechworth|Beechworth]] Khancoban
== Beginnings ==
Original settlement at [[Koetong (2)|Koetong]]
The original people of the area were the Pallanganmiddang Aborigines.
Variously, "Corryong" could be either the red clay used in ceremonies, a bandicoot, or a possum-skin belt. Apparently the first possibility is the closest to the original language word.
