This advertisement for the 'First subdivision sale of Koo Wee Rup Township Estate' was from the Gippsland Standard and Alberton Shire Representative February 24, 1915. There is a fair bit of Real Estate agent hyperbole in the description - but it's a fun read about the area - they predict Koo Wee Rup will be a 'future city'!
