' Glenloth
Situated about 20 miles from Kingoonya never in use during writer's memory. A deserted gold mining area named after the Melbourne Cup winner Glenloth in 1892, evidently in use at that time. All that now remains is the battery and deserted hotel. It must have been bottle trade as a huge heap still remains. A well known township and depot on the Trans Railway near Glenloth is named Tarcoola after the Melbourne Cup winner in 1893.'
