  • 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).

  • Reportof the Chief Protector of Aboriginals for the Year Ended June
    South BSS& Australia. REPORT CHIEF PROTECTOR OF ABORIGINALS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30. 1925. R. E. E. Rogers Government Printer North Terrace. A 1925 Digitised by AIATSIS Library 2007, RS 25.5/1 - www.aiatsis.gov.au/library REPORT. Aboriginals Department, Adelaide, September 28th, 1925. Sir—I have the honor to submit this my report on the working of the Aboriginals Department for the year ended June 30th, 1925 ; also reports received from the Super­ intendents of the Aboriginal Stations and the Protectors of Aborigines in the North. POINT PEARCE STATION. The harvest results for the past season were disappointing in yield, wheat only averaging 9bush. per acre. However, as good prices for wheat, barley, and wool were obtained, the year's operations show a profit of £198 18s. 2d. The total rainfall for year ended December 31st, 1924, was 11.67in. Mr. W. R. Penhall resigned his position as Superintendent on October 31st, 1924, and Mr. J. B. Steer was transferred from Point McLeay to this position. Mr. Steer takes a keen interest in stock and agriculture and is well qualified for the position. POINT MCLEAY STATION. Owing to the increasing cost of firewood for this station, and the loss in return from the dairy, caused by the culling out of cows not up to standard, on the advice of the herd tester, also the drier season, this station shows a loss of £5,123 15s. l1d. The loss on the dairy will be only tem­ porary, as this system of herd testing will eventually make the dairy much more profitable, and we hope this year to reduce the cost of firewood, as we have arranged to cut and cart same with our own men and teams, instead of letting this contract to white men, which has been done previously.
