  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 UH V E Y , I ) <l I MALCOLM REID EMPORIUM 187-193 Rundle Street Historically, this building is significant because of its association with the firm of Malcolm Reid and Co, long established merchants of Adelaide. This building underscored the success and expansion of the firm. Malcolm Reid and Co had branches also at Port Adelaide and Broken Hill - thereby exemplifying the economic dominance of Adelaide in the South Australiai:i economy. Other branches were established at Johannesburg and London. The plans for this building for the South Australian Company were approved, 1st March, 1909. Architecturally this range of buildings is strongly related to the adjoining Austral Hotel which is similarly detailed. Tite complete range of buildings occupying a large percentage of two town acres is typical of a substantial '1boom period" terrace with stuccoed Italianate detail to strings, cornices and surrounds to openings. Environmentally this building is significant because it is a strong element in Rundle Street and because it complements the building immed­ iately to the east. The integrity of the building is high.

  • 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.
