It includes the University of Adelaide sports field, Pennington Gardens East, and Angas Gardens. These spatial segments have remained consistent. Karrawirra/Park 12 has carried several names over the years. Formally it is today known as Karrawirra/Park 12, but it has also been known as the University Oval ‘park’ (from the 1910s onwards), the Nursery ‘park’ (from c.1900-1930s), and the ‘Peace Park’. The ‘University’ designation is due to the long term occupancy of the sports fields by the University of Adelaide. The Nursery ‘park’ designation comes about from Corporation staff reports during the Pelzer period from 1899-1932. The ‘Peace Park’ is a designation applied in 1986 with the opening of the Sri Chinmoy Peace Mile. Karrawirra/Park 12 also comprises two triangular parks or gardens. To the west is Pennington Gardens East, bounded by Sir Edwin Smith Avenue, Pennington Terrace and King William Road. In the north was Roberts Reserve or Place which applied to land north of a closed road that connected Finniss Street to Sir Edwin Smith Avenue. From the 1860s-1950s Roberts Place appears to have been managed by Parks & Gardens staff as an annexe to the Brougham Place Garden.

  • The Creation of the Torrens : a History of Adelaide's River to 1881
    The Creation of the Torrens: A History of Adelaide's River to 1881 by Sharyn Clarke This is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in History School of Social Sciences University of Adelaide CONTENTS List of Paintings and Maps Introduction 1 Chapter One: Conceiving the Torrens t4 Chapter Two: Black and White 4t Chapter Three: The Destruction of the Torrens 76 Chapter Four: Meeting the Demand for Progress 105 Chapter Five: The Torrens Lake 130 Conclusion 157 Bilbiography ABSTRACT The River Torrens in Adelaide is a fragile watercourse with variable seasonal flows which was transformed in the nineteenth century into an artificial lake on a European scale. This thesis presents the reasons behind the changes which took place. The creation of the Torrens covers both physical changes and altering conceptions of the river from a society which, on the whole, desired a European river and acted as though the Torrens was one. The period of study ranges from the Kaurna people's life, which adapted around the river they called Karrawirraparri, to the damming of the river in 1881, Being the major river forthe city, the relatively higher population density meant huge environmental pressure, an inability to assess its limits lead to it being heavily polluted and degraded only a decade after white settlement. Distinct stages in the use of the river can be observed and a variety of both positive and negative responses towards it were recorded. By studying the interactions with, and attitudes towards, the River Torrens, and the changes it has undergone, we learn much about the societies that inhabited the river and their values towards a specific and crucial part of the natural environment.
