Worlds End is not far off

The creek through our property reaches us after winding through a wild and beautiful 30-square-kilometre valley to our south called Worlds End. Why the name? Nobody's sure, but the old gold mining town of Hill End is nearby, so that could be a clue. Much further away, there's a 17th century pub in Chelsea, UK called 'World's End', allegedly named after a witch's prophesy at the time that the world would end a couple of hundred years later, in 1881.
