Summary

ZEEHAN, Tas. (zee-nă), 41 54S 145 20E (map 7), a town (pop. 1610) and municipality (pop. 5076) in the west of the State. In 1798 Matthew Flinders named nearby Mount Zeehan after the Zeehaen, one of the ships of Abel Tasman, who sighted the mountain in 1642. The town took its name from the mountain. The town of Zeehan was established because a rich deposit of silver and lead was discovered nearby in 1882. Mining ceased in 1908 and Zeehan is now largely a residential centre, though the timber industry is important and the surrounding district is agricultural. Other centres and localities in Zeehan Municipality are Dundas (a ghost town of interest), Renison Bell, roseberry, Tullah and Williamsford.

ZETLAND, NSW (zet-lănd), an inner southern suburb in the City of south sydney (map 26:17). Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of New South Wales 1872–9, named it after the Earl of Zetland, to whom he was related.

ZILLMERE, Qld (zill-meer), a northern suburb of the City of brisbane. It is just to the north of chermside (map 23:C3). Zillmere was named after a Moravian (a religion similar to Lutheran) missionary who was the first landowner in the area.
