I also use Rose Lagoon.
The official gazetted name is Rose Lagoon – see
http://www.ga.gov.au/place-names/index.xhtml# and extract below.
My understanding is that the adjacent property and veterinary practice is named Rowes Lagoon, perhaps as a play on words, perhaps with legitimate historical
links, I don’t know.

I use ‘Rose’. There is evidence in support, and quite a long exchange in the archive. Let’s not revisit

Can COG members therefore confirm that the ‘Rose Lagoon’ that appears in back issues of Canberra Bird Notes is probably a misnomer and should have been ‘Rowse? If not, there are
obviously two different lagoons, or a ‘lagoon by another name’!
