Description From Owner:

Mad River - The Reverend George Grant described it in 1872 as 'a violent mountain affluent.'
Reg Christie Creek - After Harold Reginald Monro Christie, BCLS, killed in action in 1916.
Vavenby - When a post office was established here in 1910, an early settler, Daubney Pridgeon, suggested that it be named after his birthplace, Navenby in Lincolnshire.
Unfortunately the postal authorities misread his handwriting, and so it became 'Vavenby.'
