Whroo Visitors to Whroo can still see the 25 metre deep open cut mine on the hill, with the mine owner's homestead to the south. Four large pine trees remain from his 4 acre garden. A row of sugar gums marks the site of the mechanics' institute where balls were held on moonlit nights. Also south of the hill is the evocative Whroo Cemetery and a signposted walking track that leads from the cemetery to an Aboriginal waterhole. It is presumable the source of the town's name as local Aborigines called the area 'wooroo' which is thought to mean 'waterhole'.
