Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Diamondtina Drover? / Diamantina...
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Diamondtina Drover
The correct spelling is Diamantina, after Diamantina Roma, Lady Bowen, the wife of the first governor of Queensland after it separated from New South Wales (and a good thing too!) in 1859.

A very lovely lady, so 'tis said.
