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. -

Would It Be Too Much to Ask of the Namers, That Any District Having Already a Suitable Native Name Should Be Allowed to Keep It…? (Register, 3 August 1868, Page 3C)
G Would it be too much to ask of the namers, that any district having already a suitable native name should be allowed to keep it…? (Register, 3 August 1868, page 3c) Gairdner, Lake - Discovered by Stephen Hack and, simultaneously, by P. E. Warburton and Samuel Davenport in August 1857, it was named by Governor MacDonnell in October 1857 after Gordon Gairdner, CMG, Chief Clerk of the Australian Department in the Colonial Office: [His] long and faithful service in the Australian Department of the Colonial Service entitles him to such tribute of remembrance from here. In a despatch to the colonial office the Governor said that ‘its size and remarkable cliffs projecting into a vast expanse of dazzling salt, here and there studded with islands, render it one of the most striking objects hitherto met with in Australian scenery…’ In 1858, it was reported that it was ‘very strange that successive explorers see the same country with impressions so irreconcilable’: We are quite aware of the immense difference of appearance which a tract of land will exhibit at different seasons of the year. But an Australian explorer should be able at any time to affirm, with tolerable certainty, what aspect a country will present at all other times… The tract of country described by Mr Hack as comprising four or five thousand square miles of excellent pastoral land, Major Warburton calculates will sustain sheep at the rate of about one to the square mile. We cannot presume to say which is the more accurate estimate… Galga - The town, in the Hundred of Bandon, 32 km South-East of Swan Reach, was proclaimed on 10 February 1916 and is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘hungry’; it was intended by the railway commissioner, who named it, that the railway station would be a place where refreshments be provided. -

Opinion in the Bush Is That They Are T
H Who the Annas, Joannas and Carolines are, no one I suppose knows or cares to know; the… opinion in the bush is that they are the names of those kindly-disposed young ladies who so frequently call on Mr Beddome in the forenoon… by-the-by I fear that something serious has happened to one of them as I see in the Gazette of July 16 the Surveyor-General refers to the ‘west part of Blanche’. (Register, 3 August 1868, page 3c) Habel Landing - On section 62, Hundred of Pyap and named after Wilhelm E. Habel (1856-1926) ‘of Loxton Hut’, who obtained the land grant of section 14B on 31 May 1911. One of the most successful farmers in the district and ‘with a generosity that characterises Germans’: Mr Habel is marking the occasion of his daughter’s marriage in a manner which is causing a great flutter in riverside society. A pine hall has been specially built, capable of seating 80 people and the steamer, Gem, had 20 of Mr Habel’s guests on board last Sunday, all the way from Duttontown [sic], near Kapunda. Loxton’s Hut will be the centre of much rejoicing and merry-making this week. [See Duttonton] Hack Bridge - In 1850, the Register reported the completion of this bridge approximately one kilometre north of Mylor on a road between sections 3325-26, Hundred of Noarlunga. More properly known as the ‘Onkaparinga Bridge’, it was built by Mr Pitman of Adelaide; ‘[it] is now finished and thrown open to the public. It is on the Macclesfield road and is the boldest bridge as to design yet built in the colony. -
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. -
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. -

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
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]. -
