  • Would It Be Too Much to Ask of the Namers, That Any District Having Already a Suitable Native Name Should Be Allowed to Keep It…? (Register, 3 August 1868, Page 3C)
    G Would it be too much to ask of the namers, that any district having already a suitable native name should be allowed to keep it…? (Register, 3 August 1868, page 3c) Gairdner, Lake - Discovered by Stephen Hack and, simultaneously, by P. E. Warburton and Samuel Davenport in August 1857, it was named by Governor MacDonnell in October 1857 after Gordon Gairdner, CMG, Chief Clerk of the Australian Department in the Colonial Office: [His] long and faithful service in the Australian Department of the Colonial Service entitles him to such tribute of remembrance from here. In a despatch to the colonial office the Governor said that ‘its size and remarkable cliffs projecting into a vast expanse of dazzling salt, here and there studded with islands, render it one of the most striking objects hitherto met with in Australian scenery…’ In 1858, it was reported that it was ‘very strange that successive explorers see the same country with impressions so irreconcilable’: We are quite aware of the immense difference of appearance which a tract of land will exhibit at different seasons of the year. But an Australian explorer should be able at any time to affirm, with tolerable certainty, what aspect a country will present at all other times… The tract of country described by Mr Hack as comprising four or five thousand square miles of excellent pastoral land, Major Warburton calculates will sustain sheep at the rate of about one to the square mile. We cannot presume to say which is the more accurate estimate… Galga - The town, in the Hundred of Bandon, 32 km South-East of Swan Reach, was proclaimed on 10 February 1916 and is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘hungry’; it was intended by the railway commissioner, who named it, that the railway station would be a place where refreshments be provided.

The first 9 of these were not proclaimed until had been set at 80 acres with the idea of encouraging the 1842. Prior to this the land had been sold under a system of small farmer. By the 1860s the government had accepted the preliminary districts and special surveys. reality that wheat growing - a mainstay of the economy - In the 1850’s a hierarchical system of Counties, Hundreds, required larger farms. Under the Strangways Act, 1869 land Sections, and Lots was adopted. could be bought on credit with sections of up to 320 acres replacing the old 80-acre section. Hundreds One of the tenets of the Wakefield scheme that guided the founding of the colony of South Australia in 1834, was that no land was to be given away. All land was considered to be the property of the Crown. It was either to be surveyed and sold systematically or leased for pastoral use on payment of the prescribed rental. The funds raised were to be used to pay for the passage of selected settlers, preferably farming families. There was also a clear intention that surveys should always precede sales.
