W: Right, so Emma Ville used to be called Vegetable Creek.
M: That’s correct.
W: When did they change the name, do you know?
M: They changed the name back in 1872.
W: Right, and why was that?
M: It was because at the time the governor of New South Wales was, his wife’s name was Emma, and he came to Emma Ville and opened up the Emma Ville hospital and he called it Emma Ville, after Emma.
W: And there used to be a lot of Chinese people growing vegetables here before.
M: That’s fight. There were 3,000 Chinese at a tin mine in Emma Ville. Emma Ville used to produce 400,000 tons of tin a year. The last mine that was in Emma Ville closed down in 1988.
