Introduction Language, land and song are closely entwined for most pre-industrial societies, whether the fishing and farming economies of Homeric Greece, or the raiding, mercenary and farming economies of the Norse, or the hunter- gatherer economies of Australia. Documenting a language is now seen as incomplete unless documenting place, story and song forms part of it. This book presents language documentation in its broadest sense in the Australian context, also giving a view of the documentation of Australian Aboriginal languages over time.1 In doing so, we celebrate the achievements of a pioneer in this field, Luise Hercus, who has documented languages, land, song and story in Australia over more than fifty years. -
Coober Pedy, South Australia
The etymology of Coober Pedy, South Australia Petter Naessan The aim of this paper is to outline and assess the diverging etymologies of ‘Coober Pedy’ in northern South Australia, in the search for original and post-contact local Indigenous significance associated with the name and the region. At the interface of contemporary Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara opinion (mainly in the Coober Pedy region, where I have conducted fieldwork since 1999) and other sources, an interesting picture emerges: in the current use by Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people as well as non-Indigenous people in Coober Pedy, the name ‘Coober Pedy’ – as ‘white man’s hole (in the ground)’ – does not seem to reflect or point toward a pre-contact Indigenous presence. Coober Pedy is an opal mining and tourist town with a total population of about 3500, situated near the Stuart Highway, about 850 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. Coober Pedy is close to the Stuart Range, lies within the Arckaringa Basin and is near the border of the Great Victoria Desert. Low spinifex grasslands amounts for most of the sparse vegetation. The Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta region is characterised by dwarf shrubland and tussock grassland. Further north and northwest, low open shrub savanna and open shrub woodland dominates.1 Coober Pedy and surrounding regions are arid and exhibit very unpredictable rainfall. Much of the economic activity in the region (as well as the initial settlement of Euro-Australian invaders) is directly related to the geology, namely quite large deposits of opal. The area was only settled by non-Indigenous people after 1915 when opal was uncovered but traditionally the Indigenous population was western Arabana (Midlaliri). -

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners. -
Playas of Inland Australia
Cadernos Lab. Xeolóxico de Laxe Coruña. 2010. Vol. 35, pp. 71 - 98 ISSN: 0213-4497 Playas of inland Australia BOURNE, J.A.1 and. TWIDALE, C.R.1 (1) School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Geology and Geophysics, The University of Adelaide, G.P.O. Box 498, Adelaide, South Australia 5005 Abstract Playas, mostly in the form of salinas, are characteristic of the Australian arid zone. Many are associated with lunettes in sebkha complexes or assemblages and can be attributed to the deflation of bare alluvial flats. Many playas are structurally controlled. Lake Eyre, for example, occupies a downfaulted segment of the crust, and many other playas large and small are associated with faults. Lakes Frome, Callabonna, Blanche, and Gregory each displays a linear shoreline, but also and arguably, all are located on a regional structural arc. Lake Gairdner occupies a valley probably blocked by faulting. Others may be caused by preferential weathering along fracture zones, some linear but others arcuate. Many salinas are developed in dismembered rivers channels, the position and pattern of which are structurally determined. But many owe their existence to the interaction of several of these factors. The various salts precipitated in playas constitute a significant resource, regional and local, past, present and future. Key words: playa, salina, sebkha, lunette, Australia 72 Bourne and Twidale CAD. LAB. XEOL.

Languages and Dialects of the Goldfields Region
Languages and Dialects of the Goldfields Region The Goldfields region of Western Australia is home to around 7,200 Aboriginal people who represent 12% of the region’s population.1 An estimated 2,900 people speak an Aboriginal language as a first language.2 Many of the remaining Aboriginal population speak an Aboriginal language as a second or subsequent language, are a partial speaker, recaller and/or speak an Aboriginal dialect of English or speak Standard Australian English. Identifying the languages and their dialects of the northern, western and southern districts of the region has proven to be difficult as there is meager historical linguistic material prior to 2011. Multiple forms of names are recorded in historical material and the relationships between the names needed to be investigated. However, Ngaanyatjarra and dialects, and Yankunytjatjarra as well as Walpiri and Pintupi from the Northern Territory have been well documented. Speakers of each of these languages are found in the Goldfields region. The southern and western Goldfields regions were heavily impacted during European settlement due to a number of mineral booms, in particular during initial gold rushes between 1890 and 1910. The region experienced an influx of around 20,000 people in a 2-year period during the first gold rushes at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. This boom decimated a number of Aboriginal populations through the spread of disease and starvation, competition for sparse water and food, and through massacres. Most Aboriginal people who survived the first wave of European settlement were relocated to the nine missions established in the region or were sent to other missions outside the area such as Mogumber Mission near Perth. -
