    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.

    Some Years Ago, When a Well-Known Explorer Named a Number of Places After Personal Friends, the Register Entered a Good-Humoured Protest

    D Some years ago, when a well-known explorer named a number of places after personal friends, the Register entered a good-humoured protest. When a township bearing a most musical native name was rechristened Hopetoun, the Register quietly sent it to Coventry by persisting in printing its original title… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Da Costa Park - A 1923 subdivision of part section 214, Hundred of Noarlunga, by the Church of England Collegiate School of St Peter; now included in Glenelg East and named after Benjamin M. Da Costa, a Portuguese Jew and owner of considerable property in South Australia. He bequeathed a life interest in it to various relatives on the termination of which ‘a handsome legacy was bequeathed to St Peter’s College … [he] was formerly engaged in mercantile pursuits in Grenfell Street and left the colony in 1848 for England where he has since resided…’ Dairy Flat - A descriptive name given to land in the Bald Hill district. A reporter said in 1851 that he ‘came to Dairy Flat, on the border of the Yankalilla River, formerly a dairy farm and the establishment of Mr J.B. Hack, more recently of Mr Field, but now abandoned, as to the original purpose and occupied by the blacksmith we were now seeking.’ Records in the Department of Education show the Dairy Flat School opening in 1863 - changed to ‘Torrens Vale’ in 1908 and closed in 1954. However, a newspaper report says that on 6 December 1858 the pupils of Mr C. Lee underwent a public examination when the prize-winners were listed as: Jane Nosworthy, John Bartram, Thomas Willson, Henry Bartram, Nicholas Nicholas, John Coad, Emma Ward, Jane Coad, Jane Gardner, Richard Denniss, David Deakin Davies, Margaret Gardner, Elizabeth Ann Blacker, Lucy Grace, Angas William Kelly and Lucy Ward.
