The History Behind The Name ...
Namarca has a unique name by any Australian standards, even though he is 4th generation Australian. The Corowa family history in Australia dates back to the 1860's when his great grandparents on his fathers and mothers side were bought to Australian soil from Vanuatu, to labour as slaves in sugar plantations and to become a part of establishing Queensland's once great sugar industry. The name 'Namarca' originates in Vanuatu, which was given to him by his grandfather Alf Corowa, who is a paramount chief on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu and Namarca was given his name because, he is the eldest grandson of a chief bearing the 'Corowa' name.
