Garrett Cotter

Garrett Cotter (1802-1886) was an Australian convict. The Cotter River in the Australian Capital Territory is named after him.

From circa 1827, Garret Cotter inhabited the Cotter Valley and the Cotter River received its name by association. Cotter was born in 1802 in County Cork. He had been a ploughman and was transported in 1822 on the "Mangles". [cite web | last = Mayberry | first = Peter | year =
