  • Place Names of Casey and Cardinia
    Place Names of Casey and Cardinia Casey Cardinia Libraries have compiled this list of place names and their meanings from the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire and related neighbouring areas. It includes early schools in the area, as school names often reflected the fluidity of town names in the early days. They also indicate the locations of towns that no longer exist. Army Road, Pakenham Army Road marks the location of the Salvation Army boy's home established in Pakenham in 1900. It subsequently became a home for Girls and then an Old Men's Home. The home closed in the 1920s. The Army Road School. No.3847, operated intermittently form 1914 until 1947. (W, V) Avonsleigh John (J.W) and Anna wright owned a guesthouse called Avonsleigh House at the corner of Emerald-Macclesfield and Emerald Roads. The name was adopted in 1911. The area was previously known as East Emerald. See also Wright Railway Station. (C) Balla Balla The Balla Balla run on Rutherford inlet was taken up in 1839 by Robert Innes Allan. The meaning is uncertain. Ballarat is aboriginal for resting or camping place from balla 'resting on one's elbow; and arat 'place', so it could mean 'resting'. Another possible meaning is 'mud'.There is a Balla Balla river, near Whim Creek, in the Pilbara Western Australia which was first recorded by Surveyor, Alexander Forrest in 1879. The name is thought to be derived from the Aboriginal word parla, from the Kariyarra language, meaning 'mud'. (B) Ballarto Road John Bakewell retained ownership of the Tooradin run in 1856 when his partnership with John Mickle and William Lyall dissolved.
