Front Cover: Port Germein Hotel, High Street, Port Germein. Photo by Barbara Parker, 2010 This hotel dates from 1881 when the district was an important producer of wheat. A 1646 metre long jetty was built so that the wheat could be taken out to the sailing clippers anchored out where the water was deep enough for them Burnside Historical Society Inc. to load. This jetty was said to be the longest in the southern hemisphere. The sailors drank at the hotel on their too-brief shore leave.

    The Marina Hindmarsh Island introduces you to the history behind your Street names & Lagoon names 1 Dedication This book is dedicated the early explorers and the men & women who lived and worked on paddle steamers along the waters of the mighty Murray River and to those shipwrights who toiled in the shipyards not far from the wharf at Goolwa, bringing our region to life in the 1800’s. The contents of this booklet have been printed with the express permission of Mr Ronald Parsons, to whom we give thanks for his dedication in collating the concise history of Australia’s paddle steamers. Information about each paddle steamer has been directly referenced from his book - “Ships of the inland rivers” 1987 Many photos have been sourced from the State Library of South Australia.

His original intention was to become a member of the landed gentry in a new colony where only the best aspects of the British social system would be retained. When this proved impracticable he set out to make a name for him- self in other fields. Finniss was a prominent figure in South Australian politics for a quarter of a century and progressed slowly but surely until he reached the highest positions in the province.

The children are (left to right): Anthonius (Tony), Maria, Anthonia (Toosjie) and Johanna (Joh) in the summer of 1954/55. The family migrated from Holland in 1953 and have moved from migrant camps at Bonegilla and Finsbury to an asbestos house rented from the South Australian Housing Trust.

  • At the Constant Recurrence of Inappropriate Names

    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.

Due to the age of the photographs and drawings in this book they are all considered to be out of copyright, however where the photographer, artist or source of the item is known it has been stated directly below it. For any stated as ‘photographer unknown’ I would be very happy for you to get in touch if you know the artist or photographer. Cover photograph: the 3-masted ship ‘Herradura’ (612 tons), launched in 1868, painted by William Foster. This book has been published on an entirely non-profit basis and made available to all online free of charge as a pdf. The aim of the book is to make the history of vessels built by Alexander Hall & Co. available to a wider audience. There is much available on the internet, especially on www.aberdeenships.com which gives much more details from many newspapers not stated in this publication. However, what’s currently available is scattered and doesn’t readily give the full picture when looking at the perspective from each shipbuilding company. If you have any comments regarding this book, or any further information, especially photographs or paintings of vessels where I have none. It would be historically good to show at least one for each vessel, and since this is an electronic edition it will be possible to update and include any new information. I can be contacted at [email protected] If printing this book, it is best printed as an A5 booklet.
