  • Place Names of South Australia: W
    W Some of our names have apparently been given to the places by drunken bushmen andfrom our scrupulosity in interfering with the liberty of the subject, an inflection of no light character has to be borne by those who come after them. SheaoakLog ispassable... as it has an interesting historical association connectedwith it. But what shall we say for Skillogolee Creek? Are we ever to be reminded of thin gruel days at Dotheboy’s Hall or the parish poor house.

Waddikee - A town, 32 km South-West of Kimba, proclaimed on 14 July 1927, took its name from the adjacent well and rock called wadiki where J.C. Darke was killed by Aborigines on 24 October 1844. Waddikee School opened in 1942 and closed in 1945. Aboriginal for ‘wattle’.

  • Rethinking Modern Architecture – Caroline Cosgrove
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Flinders Academic Commons Rethinking Modern Architecture – Caroline Cosgrove Rethinking Modern Architecture: HASSELL’s Contribution to the Transformation of Adelaide’s Twentieth Century Urban Landscape Caroline Cosgrove Abstract There has been considerable academic, professional and community interest in South Australia’s nineteenth century built heritage, but less in that of the state’s twentieth century. Now that the twenty-first century is in its second decade, it is timely to attempt to gain a clearer historical perspective on the twentieth century and its buildings. The architectural practice HASSELL, which originated in South Australia in 1917, has established itself nationally and internationally and has received national peer recognition, as well as recognition in the published literature for its industrial architecture, its education, airport, court, sporting, commercial and performing arts buildings, and the well-known Adelaide Festival Centre. However, architectural historians have generally overlooked the practice’s broader role in the development of modern architecture until recently, with the acknowledgement of its post-war industrial work.1 This paper explores HASSELL’s contribution to the development of modern architecture in South Australia within the context of growth and development in the twentieth century. It examines the need for such studies in light of heritage considerations and presents an overview of the firm’s involvement in transforming the urban landscape in the city and suburbs of Adelaide. Examples are given of HASSELL’s mid-twentieth century industrial, educational and commercial buildings. This paper has been peer reviewed 56 FJHP – Volume 27 ‐2011 Figure 1: Adelaide’s urban landscape with the Festival Centre in the middle distance.

    A Y E R S H O U S E M U S E U M THE FAMILY SLSA: PRG 1361/20/2 S I R H E N R Y A N D L A D Y A N N E A Y E R S Henry Ayers was born in Portsea, England, on 1st May 1821, the son of shipwright William Ayers and his wife Elizabeth (née Breaks). SLSA: PRG 67/54/6 His wife, Anne (née Potts) Ayers was the daughter of Lawrence Potts, a retired linen draper. Her stepmother, Elizabeth Lockett was the primary breadwinner working as a milliner and dressmaker. Anne's brother, Frank Potts, had at 14 sailed on the HMS Challenger, witnessing the raising of the Union flag inaugurating the colony of Western Australia. SLSA:B 2399 T H E I R W E D D I N G On 14 June 1840 Henry Ayers married Anne Potts at St Mary's Alverstoke Church in Southamptonshire, England. ROWLART: St. Marys Church, Alverstoke N E W B E G I N N I N G S The couple, gaining passage on account of Henry's feigned carpentry skills, set sail aboard the Fairfield on 15 July 1840. There were 180 other passengers on board. Upon reaching Port Adelaide on the 14th of December 1840, Henry wasted no time pretending to be a carpenter. Instead, he gained employment as a law clerk in the office of (Sir) James Fisher working there until 1845.

Liquid History and Michael Johnston, Olives SA Three questions • Why olives? • Horticultural experiment/acclimatisation • Not only olives: other exotic products • Why France? • Major source of all things ‘Mediterranean’ for the British • Why South Australia/Hackney? • Similar climate, topography, soils etc to Southern France • ‘Systematic settlement’ (Wakefield System linking land & labour): • ’Social experiment’; independent farmers, close settlement etc • Three ‘governments’: Colonial Government, Colonisation Commission, South Australian Company • Influential promoters of A&H esp citrus fruits, almonds, olives, silk, tobacco, flax By 1914, South Australia boasted about 100,000 productive olive trees, at least 5 commercial oil presses producing up to 100,000 litres of oil per year and an industry that some predicted would soon rival that of Mediterranean Europe!

Beare, son of Thomas Hudson Beare, at the time second officer of the [South Australian] Company, stated that Charles Powell, gardener of the Company, planted fruit trees, olives and vine cuttings, nearly all of which grew; he also planted a mulberry tree on the island, which had come out on the Duke of York.” Arthur J Perkins, South Australia, An Agricultural and Pastoral State in the Making… ☛ The KI olive tree should be close to this historic mulberry tree Other

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.
