Tin Dog Creek

Tin Dog Creek (coord|31|15|S|117|03|E [ [http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/gazd01?rec=293639 Tin Dog Creek page] at Geoscience Australia] ) is a small watercourse in Dowerin, Western Australia.

The name is said to have come from gold miners travelling to the Yilgarn goldfields who called their tinned beef "tinned dog" and would discard tins at the creek. [ [http://www.dowerin.wa.gov.au/visitors/places_to_see.html Places to See page] at the Shire of Dowerin web site]
