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. (Register, 7 October 1861, page 3c) Wabricoola - A property North -East of Black Rock; see pastoral lease no. 1634. 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’. ( See Darke Peak, Pugatharri & Koongawa, Hundred of) Waddington Bluff - On section 98, Hundred of Waroonee, probably recalls James Waddington, described as an ‘overseer of Waukaringa’. Wadella - A school near Tumby Bay in the Hundred of Hutchison opened on 1 July 1914 by Jessie Ormiston; it closed in 1926. Wadjalawi - A tea tree swamp in the Hundred of Coonarie, west of Point Davenport; an Aboriginal word meaning ‘bull ant water’. Wadmore - G.W. Goyder named Wadmore Hill, near Lyndhurst, after George Wadmore, a survey employee who was born in Plymouth, England, arrived in the John Woodall in 1849 and died at Woodside on 7 August 1918. W.R. Wadmore, Mayor of Campbelltown, was honoured in 1972 when his name was given to Wadmore Park in Maryvale Road, Campbelltown. -

The Public Will Thank You for Your Timely Article on the Absurdity of So Many of the Names with Which Our Localities in South Australia Are Humiliated
B The public will thank you for your timely article on the absurdity of so many of the names with which our localities in South Australia are humiliated. The places so handicapped are, like the unfortunate infants christened after certain celebrities, voiceless in the matter… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Baan Hill - On section 50, Hundred of Allenby; an adjacent spring gives a good supply of water all year round; derived from the Aboriginal panau - ‘ochre’. The name was given to a pastoral run by H.S. Williams and J.T. Bagot and, on 24 June 1976, proclaimed as a recreation reserve. Babbage, Mount - B.H. Babbage discovered the mountain in 1856 and named it ‘Mount Hopeful’; in the following year it was renamed by G.W. Goyder. Babbage Peninsula, situated on Lake Eyre North was, virtually, discovered by Babbage, as opposed to Lake Eyre South which was discovered by E.J. Eyre and not named until 1963. Born in London, circa 1814, he came to South Australia in the Hydaspes in 1851. A qualified engineer he was involved in the construction of the Port Adelaide railway, entered Parliament in 1857 and resigned nine months later to command a northern exploration party. By the end of six months his explorations had scarcely penetrated beyond the limits of pastoral settlement and, consequently, both the public and the government, increasingly, became impatient at his slow rate of progress. Eventually, Major P. E. Warburton was dispatched to take over the leadership and, later, it was said that, ‘Babbage’s expedition of 1858-59 was one of the most fruitful in its detailed collection of geographical information and the minuteness of its survey work.’ The Advertiser of 24 December 1858 has a satirical poem - one verse reads: Each caviller at Babbage then A fairy land, no doubt, he’d see, We’d northward send exploring Where others saw but gravel, To find new land, or water when And geographic problems he He chose artesian boring! Most surely would unravel. -
A Person Arriving in This Colony, and Wishing to Join His Friends at The
R A person arriving in this colony, and wishing to join his friends at the Meadows, consults his railway guide, and finds that he has to take train for Quorn, etc; but after travelling some 200 miles north discovers that he has to retrace his journey to the city, and start again to the older village, something like 20 miles south of Adelaide. Many similar examples may be given… (Advertiser, 4 April 1888) Rabbit Island - (See Owen Island, Pennington Bay & Koromaranggul) Rabelais, Cape - In the South-East, appears first on Freycinet’s charts and, probably, was named after Francois Rabelais (circa 1494-1553), the celebrated French satirist and humorist who, in younger days, was a Benedictine monk but departed from his clerical labours, after a monastical quarrel, to become a physician. Rabila - A railway station 5 km South-East of Murray Bridge. Aboriginal for ‘good hunting ground’. Radium - Radium Creek - (See Echo Camp) Radium Hill is 40 km South-West of Cockburn, where uranium was discovered in 1906; the mine closed in 1961, The Radium Hill School opened in 1953 and closed in 1962. Radstock, Cape - On Eyre Peninsula, named by Matthew Flinders on 9 February 1802 after Lord Radstock (1753-1825), an English Admiral. Baudin called it Pointe de la Chausse (Reef Point), while Freycinet’s charts show C. Halle. Raeburn - A school near Curramulka opened in 1929 by Lizzie Forsyth; it closed in 1940. Raglan - A school, opened in 1884 as ‘Inkerman North’, became ‘Raglan’ in 1891, ‘Bowmans’ in 1905 and was closed in 1972. Of interest is the fact that -
The Memory of Deadly Battlefields And
P The memory of deadly battlefields and desperate sieges is preserved in the title of some beautiful hamlet; while the scattered inhabitants of a secluded village rejoice in the borrowed plumes of some crowded European city. English and colonial statesmen are immortalised in hundred, river or agricultural area and royalty has not been forgotten… It is a matter for gratitude that… some of the euphonious and appropriate native names have survived the ordeal. (Advertiser, 12 August 1882, page 7c) Packard Bend - Situated on the River Murray, near Blanchetown. The 1864 date of the fatal drowning as stated by Rodney Cockburn in What’s In a Name would appear to be false because the Register of 29 September 1866 at page 4h says: ‘Francis Packard, a member of Mr Ebenezer MacGeorge’s survey party and formerly a member of the Northern Territory expedition [has] been drowned in the Murray… the body has not been recovered…’ Earlier, on 31 August 1866 it is said that the fatality occurred at ‘a station called Piapco … after swimming 150 yards he sank like a stone… The reminiscences of J.H. Packard, who arrived in the Asia in 1851,.are in the Observer, 1 January 1927 and an obituary on 17 August 1929: My personal experiences carry me back to 1868 when George Woodroffe Goyder was Surveyor-General of South Australia…The government of the day always consulted him in all matters connected with Crown lands, roads and proposed railways. He was never satisfied with the circuitous interstate railway… Being one of his surveyors he asked if I would care to undertake to survey an alternative line through the Torrens Gorge… [He concludes with a comprehensive summary of erroneous surveys made in connection with interstate boundaries - see under ‘South Australia’.] Paddington - An 1877 subdivision of part section 422, Hundred of Yatala, by James Williams and James W. -
Kabininge - This Name Is Shown Thus on Early Maps and Means ‘Bad Water Place’ and on Latter-Day Maps It Appears As Kabminye
K We can scarcely imagine that [the Governor] is solely or even mainly responsible for such preposterous and disfiguring names on our maps as Jamestown, Georgetown, Laura, Hundred of Dublin and a dozen others equally objectionable. (Register, 10 October 1872, page 4f) Kabininge - This name is shown thus on early maps and means ‘bad water place’ and on latter-day maps it appears as Kabminye. Situated three kilometres south of Tanunda, it was said to mean ‘morning star’. Prior to 1918 it was known as ‘Kronsdorf’, this name, with a slight modification, was restored to the map as ‘Krondorf’ in 1975. Kadina - The name is derived from kadnina - ‘place for termites’ from the presence of termite mounds on the plain south of the present town. These ants were a favourite food for the Aborigines each spring when, for about two months, the women spent many hours digging into the mounds and separating termites from mound earth by rocking them in wooden cradles and bark troughs. Other sources suggest it is a corruption of an Aboriginal word kadijina, meaning ‘lizard place’ (kadi - ‘lizard’, jina - ‘place’); this name was The stone building from the Cornwall Mine near Kadina, re-erected at applied, also, to an Aboriginal camp on the south the Elder Shaft at the Wallaroo Mines side of the town. The town of Kadina was offered for sale on 28 March 1861, the Hundred of Kadina, County of Daly, on 12 June 1862 and Kadina East proclaimed on 13 June 1907. Mr F. Ward, of Howard St, North Kensington, commented on ‘the first regular coaches between Kadina and the GPO’ and said that ‘I had been in the employ of the late Wm. -
At the Constant Recurrence of Inappropriate Names
M It has frequently been a matter of deep regret - we had almost said disgust - at the constant recurrence of inappropriate names given to new villages or towns in the various colonies of Australia… We submit that in naming a new locality reference should be made to some great feature or peculiarity in the same, and in most cases, not all certainly, the Native Names especially of South Australia, will be found euphonious, at any rate more expressive than those adopted by the settlers. (Border Watch, 10 January 1862) Maaoope - The Boandik people had a word mooeyup meaning ‘edible root’, while the Penola historian, Peter Rymill, says that: One local opinion has it that ‘Maa-ooup’, as it was originally pronounced, was derived from the call of the bullfrog. However, this amphibian (Limnodynastes dumerilii) utters a single, short note, sounding like the ‘bonk’ of a flat banjo string, to which its mate will sometimes reply ‘bonk-bonk’. Another opinion, originating from the Dickson family, is that ‘Maaoupe’ [sic] is evocative of the cry of the bittern (Botaurus poiciloptilus); a deep, resonant, two-syllable booming, likened to the bellowing of a bull (as its generic name, Bo[s] taurus, suggests). Incidentally, it is likely that the haunting call of this bird gave rise to the widespread myth of the fabulous bunyip. Dr James Dickson is acknowledged as being the pioneer of Maaoupe [sic] Station, 9 miles (15km) north- west of Penola in 1846. Remembered as a north-countryman, he was probably born into a medical family near Romaldkirk, Yorkshire, in 1809. -

S The public will thank you for your timely article on the absurdity of so many of the names with which our localities in South Australia are humiliated. The places so handicapped are, like the unfortunate infants christened after certain celebrities, voiceless in the matter… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Sab-Aruma - The name of a holiday village near Walker Flat developed by the SA Brewing Co. Ltd (SAB) for its employees. ‘Aruma’ is Aboriginal for ‘happy’. Every cottage has an Aboriginal name, Barook - ‘teal’; Canara - ‘magpie’; Curringa - ‘black duck’; Doundoo - ‘black swan’; Goonyah - ‘a large fish’ and Narimba - ‘pelican’. Sabine, Mount - Near Kingoonya and named after Clement Sabine who was born in Suffolk in 1833; he arrived in the Derwent in 1853, was an associate of the pastoralist, Price Maurice and also his general manager; he died in 1903 (See Ernest, Mount & Pekina) Saddlebags, Mount - A trig point in the Hundred of Kuitpo whose summit represents a saddle, with a saddlebag on each side. Saddleworth - The Register of 16 September 1846 mentions ‘Saddleworth Hotel, on the Burra road, section 2803’ and, on 28 November 1846 some travellers recorded: Passing north of Mr Master’s stations… we reached the before-mentioned incipient tavern, first known as the ‘Stone Hut’ then as the Saddleworth Hotel; … and now appropriately called the ‘Miners’ Arms’ by those jolly operatives going to or returning from the Monster Mine. The main building… is ready to receive the roof… In the meantime the business is carried on in the extensive lean-to at the back by Mr and Mrs Uphill [sic]. -

Place Names of South Australia
L When this earth of ours was all completed and made ready for the residence of man, a certain celebrated personage, Adam, was appointed nomenclator-in-chief of the animal world. It is a great pity that some such officer is not appointed in this new land to give sensible names to the various Government townships as they are formed. Jamestown and Laura are sad enough as appellations for trading centres of agricultural districts, but absurd as are these names, we have lately beaten them for downright ridiculous snobbery. (Register, 16 December 1879, page 5f) Labatt, Point - West of Cape Radstock contiguous to section 23, Hundred of Rounsevell, and named after J.B. Labatt, Assistant Engineer of the Harbors Board. Mr J.H. [sic] Labatt… who has been appointed assistant-engineer of harbours, is the son of the late Mr G.A. Labatt, a well-known solicitor of this city. He was educated at St Peter’s College and, after serving under articles to Mr R.P. Kickson (then Engineer of Harbours and Jetties), in the shops and drawing office at the government dockyard… he passed into the Engineer-in-Chief’s Department and has remained there… under Messrs H.C. Mais and A.B. Moncreiff. During this time Mr Labatt has been connected with nearly every work of importance carried out… Lacepede - Baudin named Lacepede Bay Baie des Orphelins (Bay of Orphans), while on Freycinet’s published charts it appears as B. Lacepede. Bernard. Comte de Lacépède (1756-1825), was a French naturalist and biologist; later, he entered politics and was made Minister of Marine in 1804 and a Peer of France in 1819. -
The Names of a Land Show the Heart of the Race, They Move on the Tongue Like the Lilt of a Song
C The names of a land show the heart of the race, They move on the tongue like the lilt of a song. (John Hewitt - Ulster Names) Cable Bay - On Yorke Peninsula from whence a submarine cable was extended to Althorpe Islands. Cabra Estate - On 24 January 1886 the Cabra Convent was opened by Dr Reynolds, the Roman Catholic Bishop and, in 1909, a subdivision was made of part section 1, Hundred of Adelaide by Alfred Le Messurier; now included in Cumberland Park. It is bisected by Mathias and Hill Avenues and was named after Cabra, in Ireland, from which sisters of the Dominican Order came to establish the South Australian Branch. Cacuppa - A property South-West of Lake Gairdner; see pastoral lease no. 2125. Cadamby Well - In the Hundred of Lucy. Corrupted from the Aboriginal kardiamba; meaning unknown. Cadara Hill & Cadara Swamp - North of Cape Thomas on section 22, Hundred of Mount Benson, in the South- East. Aboriginal for ‘willy wagtail lookout’. In Aboriginal mythology the willy-wagtail, by its chattering, warned the Emu people when they were about to be cut off by the rising tide during a visit to Baudin Island. Cadbury Spring - Near the Bunyeroo Valley, east of Heysen Range in the North Flinders Ranges. In 1912, an obituary of a William Abbott mentioned ‘Cadbury brothers, Wilpena station’ in the 1850s, while John and Philip Cadby (sic) took up pastoral lease no. 620 ‘East of Wilpena’ on 8 April 1858 - shipping records show a John and Philip Cadby arriving in the Salsette in 1855. The name ‘Cadbury’ occurs, also, in Devon and Somerset, England.
