Sawtell is a coastal village near Coffs Harbour in northern New South Wales, Australia. == History == The original inhabitants of the land were Aborigines of the Gumbaynggirr clan. The Aboriginal name for the land where the town now stands was ''Bongil Bongil''. In 1863, a cutter carrying a load of cedar logs ran aground on what would become Sawtell Beach. A Coffs Harbour farmer named Walter Harvey assembled a team of workers to salvage the logs, and a small settlement developed near the site of the wreck.〔 Forty years later, the land around Sawtell Beach was purchased and subdivided by Oswald Sawtell for housing and farmland.〔 A railway station, post office, school and hotel followed soon thereafter and by the 1930s Sawtell had become a thriving coastal village. As of 2006, the population of Sawtell was 3,122. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sawtell, New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
