So. Who knows? How did Drouin get its name?
Nobody could tell me last week. I asked students, I asked teachers, I asked people in the street.
Bunyip and Ripplebrook tell their own story. Or at least gives some strong clues.
But Drouin? What is a drouin? Maybe it’s a ladder, or a soldier, or a mystic. Or maybe it is a person’s name. Who was Drouin? A ship’s captain maybe, or an early settler. What? Who?
To help answer the mystery, in addition to a book* I have an insideadog t-shirt.
Drouin, what’s the story? Answers close 5pm Friday 26 October.
