Holbrook

Holbrook sits on the southern edge of the Riverina in New South Wales, where the inland Sydney–Melbourne route crosses broad grazing and grain country. Founded as Germanton, it was renamed in 1915 for Lieutenant Norman Douglas Holbrook, a British submarine commander awarded the Victoria Cross during the First World War. That unexpected naval connection is marked by the Holbrook Submarine Museum and the fin of the former Royal Australian Navy submarine HMAS Otway. The Hume Highway once passed through the town centre before a bypass redirected through traffic.
