    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.

  • Place Names of South Australia
    U 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) Ucolta - In the Hundred of Coglin, 10 km east of Peterborough. According to James Thyer (1829-1896), who lived in the district, it is a corruption of eucolta, the Aboriginal name of Flagstaff Hill. The Ucolta School opened in 1899 and closed in 1938. In 1913, it was reported that ‘much unnecessary correspondence has been indulged in by the Ucolta correspondent because the Education Department no longer rents an old iron building 2 miles from Ucolta’: The school has been removed to suitable stone building on my [R.A. Bohme] grounds… nearer to the township… The owner then offered the old building to me for £22, so your readers can decide as to what sort of a structure it would be, I declined his offer… Photographs of the opening of the War Memorial Hall are in the Chronicle, 15 April 1922, page 30. Uden, Point - On Flinders Island; named after ‘the late veteran signalman at the Semaphore’, namely, William Thomas Uden; he died on 26 July 1898 and was buried at Woodville. Udna Mukurti Rock - Near Beltana; Aboriginal for ‘hard dung rock’. Ulanggarra Ngarnbatanha Cliffs - East of Lyndhurst; Aboriginal for ‘dancing praying mantis’. Uleybury - Moses Bendle Garlick (1784-1859), a weaver in the village of Uley in Gloucestershire, England, fought against Napoleon in the Peninsula War.
