  • Dissonance Surrounding the Aboriginal Origin of a Selection of Placenames in Victoria, Australia: Lessons in Lexical Ambiguity
    14. Dissonance surrounding the Aboriginal origin of a selection of placenames in Victoria, Australia: Lessons in lexical ambiguity Ian D. Clark Federation University Australia When studying the history of some 3,400 Aboriginal toponyms in Victoria, Australia, the majority of placenames were found to have no equivocalness or ambiguity about them (Clark and Heydon 2002). Although it was not possible to find meanings for every one of these Aboriginal placenames, in terms of historical accounts and folk etymology there was no ambiguity – the vast majority of the placenames are accepted in the source material as being of Aboriginal origin. This paper concerns some 26 placenames for which there is dissonance or a lack of agreement about whether or not they are Aboriginal in origin. These names are considered in some detail in an effort to resolve their lexical ambiguity and an attempt is made to explain the reasons for the ambiguity and to find any patterns and causal factors. The merits of the claims and counter claims in each case will be examined and an attempt made to categorise the assertion of Aboriginal etymology as either grounded in the historical evidence, or likely to be explained by folk etymology – that is, a false meaning based on its structure or sound that may lack historical basis but has been accepted through common practice, or explained as a false etymology that neither accords with historical evidence nor equates with folk etymologies. A critical issue when considering toponymic etymology is the fragility of toponymic knowledge and the concomitant difficulty of learning about the origins of placenames.

  • Orbost Spiny Crayfish (Euastacus Diversus)
    Action Statement Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 No. 128 Orbost Spiny Cray Euastacus diversus Description and distribution The Orbost Spiny Crayfish Euastacus diversus (Riek) is a small freshwater crayfish. Members of the genus Euastacus are distinguished by heavy claws or chelae and spiny appearance (Zeidler 1982). The Orbost Spiny Crayfish is distinguished from other Euastacus by the arrangement, number and location of various spines on the exoskeleton. In particular, the species is characterised by the presence of one or two marginal squamal spines, the absence of dorsal thoracic spines, telsonic surface spines or an abdominal boss, the presence of four mesal carpal spines on the claw and a maximum occipital carapace length of 32.2mm (Morgan 1986). The Orbost Spiny Crayfish is olive green in colour (A. Murray pers. obs.) and is one of the smallest species in the genus. Orbost Spiny Crayfish, Euastacus diversus (Approximately life size – © Illustration by Savina The Orbost Spiny Crayfish has one of the most Hopkins) restricted distributions of all Euastacus species, having been found at only seven locations on and around the Errinundra Plateau in East Gippsland. Thirteen individuals were collected from the type locality ‘30 miles north of Orbost’ by Riek in 1956 (Morgan 1986). The species was rediscovered in 1991 when a single specimen was collected in Ferntree Creek, followed in 1994 by records from two sites in Ellery Creek and one site in each of Jungle and Lilly-pilly Creeks, all in the headwaters of the Brodribb River. In 1995 a population was located in Yandown Creek, in the headwaters of the Queensborough River.

Compiled by Lois Crisp. SHIRE OF CROAJINGALONG/ ORBOST MAY 1892 The new Shire was approximately 4,200 square miles John D. Adams wrote in The Tambo Shire Centenary History, “An in area, covering the whole eastern corner of Orbost meeting in February 1891 endorsed the idea of a separate Victoria. Shire and a committee worked out the boundaries of the proposed Shire. They were to include all of the Snowy River and Bendoc Ridings with the western boundary running from the junction of the Bell’s Point Road with the Bruthen Cunninghame Road and south to the lakes along the western boundary of the Parish of Colquhoun. Cunninghame, Lake Tyers and Nowa Nowa were to be the new West Riding of the Shire”. [The original Shire of Tambo was formed in 1882 and covered a wide area including the Orbost district which was represented by Councillors of the Snowy River Riding, James Cameron, Charles Grove, and William Watt]. Early in 1892 the idea of severing a section from Tambo Shire for the new Shire of Croajingalong was revived and a petition was published in April with the blessing of the Lakes Entrance district people, William Hunter from Cunninghame, was one of three delegates who went to Melbourne to put the petition, and “within a week their efforts were rewarded”.
