  • Hockey One – Adeladie Fire - Media Release
    HOCKEY ONE – ADELADIE FIRE - MEDIA RELEASE Hockey SA today announces the launch of The Adelaide Fire who will represent South Australia in the exciting new Hockey One competition which was revealed by Hockey Australia today. “Hockey One represents a major shift for Hockey in Australia as a re-imagined elite domestic league and entertainment product that puts fans first, with a new concept, new format, new club identities, new rule innovations and new access for fans with three home matches for every club. In more exciting news for fans, Kayo Sports, Australia’s multi-sport streaming service will show games live with the finals also to be televised live on FOX SPORTS.” Adelaide Fire are one of seven new club identities from Australia’s major cities who will participate in the inaugural Hockey One, unifying the state’s male and female teams under the same club name. Adelaide Fire will host three home-and-away matches at the State Hockey Centre with our male and female teams always playing double-headers, in a major win for fans. Hockey SA CEO, Peter Churack explained the rationale behind the club’s new identity. “SA wanted to move away from the traditional style sports branding and move to a more modern and assertive feel in line with Hockey One branding. The Fire sets the tone and vision for our club and The Fire is a natural progression and combination of the former club names - the Hotshots and the Suns, The Fire takes our club to the next level. The club colours are a modern take on traditional SA colours, the yellow, now replaced with white provides a cleaner, modern feel to the uniforms and will offer opportunities to develop highly wearable supporter gear.

  • 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.
