History
Although many believed the name’s origin was Aboriginal, with the Wyong Shire originally claiming it meant “hills surrounded by water”, the Geographic Names Board later confirmed there was no Aboriginal significance to the name, with the two most likely sources being a corruption of the Japanese surname Watanabe, ascribed to a friend of well-travelled pioneer Albert Warner, or a comment made by early landowner Allan Chapman about the “nobby” shape of the surrounding terrain, have been suggested.
Watanobbi in the last 15 years has seen the removal of grazing livestock and horses to make way for the local Community Centre. (wikipedia)
