  • Anstey Hill Recreation Park 2006 Management Plan
    Department for Environment and Heritage Management Plan Anstey Hill Recreation Park 2006 www.environment.sa.gov.au This plan of management was adopted on 2 October 2006 and was prepared pursuant to section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921238 20 8 Cover photography courtesy of Carly Lovering: Looking towards the Adelaide Plains from the Wildflower Walk. This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Anstey Hill Recreation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Anstey Hill Recreation Park conserves an area of 362 hectares of native vegetation and previously grazed land, located 18 kilometres north-east of Adelaide in the Hills Face Zone of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The majority of the park was proclaimed on 31 August 1989 to conserve the native vegetation and cultural heritage of the park, and to provide for public recreation and enjoyment. A further allotment was added to the park on 4 October 2001. The park conserves a large area of native vegetation, which provides an important refuge for native flora and fauna. It also provides a much-valued recreational resource to the residents of the north-eastern suburbs. Through organisations such as the Friends of Anstey Hill, the City of Tea Tree Gully and the National Trust, strong community connections have been forged with the park. The most immediate management concern within the park is the prevention of illegal mountain bike riding in areas of high conservation value.

  • 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.

  • Summary of State Heritage Place
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: North Adelaide Service Reservoir PLACE NO.: 26400 ADDRESS: Corner O’Connell Street & Barton Terrace, North Adelaide CR6059/925 Section 1643 Hundred of Yatala STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The North Adelaide Service Reservoir represents a significant feat of hydraulic engineering in South Australian history that demonstrates the evolution and pattern of the State’s development, particularly the growth of the colony, investment in infrastructure networks, and commitment to public health. The 1870s brick and cement structure was designed to increase and balance the pressure of water sent to the Port Adelaide area. It is a unique South Australian example of an underground reservoir, with its finely constructed red-brick arcades comprising piers and arches that form a ‘cathedral to water’. As a utilitarian structure it demonstrates a high degree of technical accomplishment in construction, materials and design. RELEVANT CRITERIA (under section 16 of the Heritage Places Act 1993) (a) it demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the state's history. Closely associated with the provision of the reticulated water scheme for Adelaide, the North Adelaide Service Reservoir demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State, including the growth of the colony, investment in infrastructure networks, and commitment to public health. From the earliest days of the colony, supply of water to the State has been a challenge. Early supplies from the River Torrens were quickly reduced in quality and became insufficient for the burgeoning population.

  • Would It Be Too Much to Ask of the Namers, That Any District Having Already a Suitable Native Name Should Be Allowed to Keep It…? (Register, 3 August 1868, Page 3C)
    G Would it be too much to ask of the namers, that any district having already a suitable native name should be allowed to keep it…? (Register, 3 August 1868, page 3c) Gairdner, Lake - Discovered by Stephen Hack and, simultaneously, by P. E. Warburton and Samuel Davenport in August 1857, it was named by Governor MacDonnell in October 1857 after Gordon Gairdner, CMG, Chief Clerk of the Australian Department in the Colonial Office: [His] long and faithful service in the Australian Department of the Colonial Service entitles him to such tribute of remembrance from here. In a despatch to the colonial office the Governor said that ‘its size and remarkable cliffs projecting into a vast expanse of dazzling salt, here and there studded with islands, render it one of the most striking objects hitherto met with in Australian scenery…’ In 1858, it was reported that it was ‘very strange that successive explorers see the same country with impressions so irreconcilable’: We are quite aware of the immense difference of appearance which a tract of land will exhibit at different seasons of the year. But an Australian explorer should be able at any time to affirm, with tolerable certainty, what aspect a country will present at all other times… The tract of country described by Mr Hack as comprising four or five thousand square miles of excellent pastoral land, Major Warburton calculates will sustain sheep at the rate of about one to the square mile. We cannot presume to say which is the more accurate estimate… Galga - The town, in the Hundred of Bandon, 32 km South-East of Swan Reach, was proclaimed on 10 February 1916 and is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘hungry’; it was intended by the railway commissioner, who named it, that the railway station would be a place where refreshments be provided.

  • Paratoo, Kapunda, Etc?
    T Do Cockney names sound better than Nuccaleena, Angipena…? Paratoo, Kapunda, etc? There used to be a watercourse up north called ‘Breakfast Time Creek’ because the old bullock-drivers, starting early, always made it at tucker time. The natives called it ‘Malthiecowie’ (cool water) which was certainly as appropriate and much more musical… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Table Lands - A government school near Eudunda; opened in 1895, it closed in 1920. Earlier, circa 1870, a Lutheran school of the same name was conducted on section 248, Hundred of Julia Creek, taking its name from a ‘table’ or plateau of flat land north of Saint Kitts. Tabor - In 1850, this German village in the Mount Lofty Ranges was reported as being named after a town in Bohemia, Germany. Tailem Bend - In the early 1840s, George Mason was a police trooper at Wellington (later, he became Sub- protector of Aborigines) and it is recorded that he said, ‘the scrub blacks called the place “Thealem”, which probably means “bend”.’ (See Marmon Jabuk & Mason) Of interest, also, is the fact that Donald Gollan called his sheep run ‘Taleam’. Professor N.B. Tindale says it derives from teigalang; teigai - ‘to miss aim’ for it was here Ngurunderi failed for a second time to kill the giant Murray Cod, Ponde. On 19 February 1846 the Government Gazette recorded that occupation licences had been issued to Messrs Archibald Cooke, John Morphett and John Gifford over land in the near vicinity. (See Cooke Plains & Gifford Hill) The town was proclaimed on 28 July 1887 and Tailem Bend School opened in 1902; a photograph of students is in the Observer, 10 October 1908, page 3.

  • 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.
