| Relative position | Milroy Creek is a north tributary to Hannum Creek (BN056 and BN057). A locality on this creek was not included by Cobb (1972; MF 417) but Cobb (1975; OFR 75-429; 1981; OFR 81-363A, p. A15) does make reference to it. This locality could be anywhere along Milroy Creek and therefore cannot be located to closer than a few miles. |
