The spellings and interpretations contained in it (linguistic, historical and geographical) are my own, and do not necessarily represent the views of KWP/KWK or its members or any other group. I have studied history at tertiary level. Though not a linguist, for 30 years I have learned much about the Kaurna, Ramindjeri-Ngarrindjeri and Narungga languages while working with KWP, Rob Amery, and other local culture- reclamation groups; and from primary documents I have learned much about the Aboriginal history of the Adelaide-Fleurieu region. My explorations of 'language on the land' through the Southern Kaurna Place Names Project are part of an ongoing effort to correct the record about Aboriginal place-names in this region (which has abounded in confusions and errors), and to add reliable new material into the public domain. I hope upcoming generations will continue this work and improve it. My interpretations should be amplified, re- considered and if necessary modified by KWP or other linguists, and by others engaged in cultural mapping: Aboriginal people, archaeologists, geographers, ecologists and historians.

  • A Glossary of South Australian Place Names - from Aaron Creek to Zion Hill
    A Glossary of South Australian Place Names - From Aaron Creek to Zion Hill A We are said to be making history, but are we not lacking in courtesy in effacing the history of a less fortunate people whom we have displaced… It surely is not necessary to close the annals of this inoffensive simple race, certainly it is not generous of us to destroy their only records, nor is it wise to exclude from mental view the panorama of their past. (Charles Hope Harrris (1846-1915), (Colonial Surveyor} Aaron Creek - It runs through section 34, Hundred of Waitpinga, and recalls Aaron Bennett, who arrived in the Indian in 1849, aged forty, owned section 111 in the same Hundred which he sold to James Collins for £28/10/0 in January 1857. In December 1920, Mr W. Bennett of Delamere, the second son of Aaron Bennett, celebrated his diamond wedding. He came to South Australia with his parents… following which his father was employed as a wheelwright by Mr J.G. Coulls in Blyth Street. Within a few years he had accumulated sufficient funds to purchase land in southern Fleurieu Peninsula and it was there he engaged in mixed farming. The family travelled from Adelaide in a bullock dray over rough tracks and the journey occupied a fortnight. There were no improvements on the place of any kind - neither house, fencing nor cleared land. The first work was to build a house, of slabs, with thatch roof and earth floor, calico windows and containing three rooms in which the family lived for a number of years.
