Coober Pedy, South Australia
The etymology of Coober Pedy, South Australia Petter Naessan The aim of this paper is to outline and assess the diverging etymologies of ‘Coober Pedy’ in northern South Australia, in the search for original and post-contact local Indigenous significance associated with the name and the region. At the interface of contemporary Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara opinion (mainly in the Coober Pedy region, where I have conducted fieldwork since 1999) and other sources, an interesting picture emerges: in the current use by Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara people as well as non-Indigenous people in Coober Pedy, the name ‘Coober Pedy’ – as ‘white man’s hole (in the ground)’ – does not seem to reflect or point toward a pre-contact Indigenous presence. Coober Pedy is an opal mining and tourist town with a total population of about 3500, situated near the Stuart Highway, about 850 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia. Coober Pedy is close to the Stuart Range, lies within the Arckaringa Basin and is near the border of the Great Victoria Desert. Low spinifex grasslands amounts for most of the sparse vegetation. The Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta region is characterised by dwarf shrubland and tussock grassland. Further north and northwest, low open shrub savanna and open shrub woodland dominates.1 Coober Pedy and surrounding regions are arid and exhibit very unpredictable rainfall. Much of the economic activity in the region (as well as the initial settlement of Euro-Australian invaders) is directly related to the geology, namely quite large deposits of opal. The area was only settled by non-Indigenous people after 1915 when opal was uncovered but traditionally the Indigenous population was western Arabana (Midlaliri).

Reportof the Chief Protector of Aboriginals for the Year Ended June
South BSS& Australia. REPORT CHIEF PROTECTOR OF ABORIGINALS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30. 1925. R. E. E. Rogers Government Printer North Terrace. A 1925 Digitised by AIATSIS Library 2007, RS 25.5/1 - www.aiatsis.gov.au/library REPORT. Aboriginals Department, Adelaide, September 28th, 1925. Sir—I have the honor to submit this my report on the working of the Aboriginals Department for the year ended June 30th, 1925 ; also reports received from the Super intendents of the Aboriginal Stations and the Protectors of Aborigines in the North. POINT PEARCE STATION. The harvest results for the past season were disappointing in yield, wheat only averaging 9bush. per acre. However, as good prices for wheat, barley, and wool were obtained, the year's operations show a profit of £198 18s. 2d. The total rainfall for year ended December 31st, 1924, was 11.67in. Mr. W. R. Penhall resigned his position as Superintendent on October 31st, 1924, and Mr. J. B. Steer was transferred from Point McLeay to this position. Mr. Steer takes a keen interest in stock and agriculture and is well qualified for the position. POINT MCLEAY STATION. Owing to the increasing cost of firewood for this station, and the loss in return from the dairy, caused by the culling out of cows not up to standard, on the advice of the herd tester, also the drier season, this station shows a loss of £5,123 15s. l1d. The loss on the dairy will be only tem porary, as this system of herd testing will eventually make the dairy much more profitable, and we hope this year to reduce the cost of firewood, as we have arranged to cut and cart same with our own men and teams, instead of letting this contract to white men, which has been done previously.

Naretha Meteorite (Synonyms Kingoonya, Kingooya)
Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1976, 4 (1) NARETHA METEORITE (Sync;>nyms: Kingoonya, Kingooya) W.H. CLEVERLY* [Received 27 May 1975. Accepted 1 October 1975. Published 31 August 1976.1 ABSTRACT Much of the missing portion of the Naretha (Western Australia) meteorite has been located in museums as an un-named specimen and as two smaller specimens masquerading under the name 'Kingoonya' (or 'Kingooya'). The use of the junior synonyms with their implications of a South Australian site of find should be discontinued. INTRODUCfION Naretha meteorite, an L4 chondrite, was found in 1915 about 3 km north of the 205-mile station during construction of the Trans-Australian Railway. It was broken into at least three major pieces which were acquired by Mr John Darbyshire, Supervising Engineer for the construction of the western end of the railway (construction was proceeding simultaneously from both Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta ends - Fig. 1). Mr Darbyshire donated the meteorite to the W.A. School of Mines in Kalgoorlie where one' piece was retained and exhibited with a photograph of the reassembled meteorite (Fig. 2). A second fragment which was passed on to the Geological Survey of Western Australia was noted briefly by Simpson (1922) who first used the name 'Naretha', the name which had been given to the 205-mile station. There is strong presumptive evidence that the third fragment was passed on to Mr S.F.C. Cook of Kalgoorlie, a private collector from whose inaccurate verbal statements and undocumented collection, the subsequent confusion arose. In late 1926 Mr Cook gave a small piece of 'meteorite to Mr G.W.

Ecosystem Management Understanding (EMU) ™: building landscape literacy to rehydrate the rangelands of South Australia Participants and staff of the EMU™ Projects in South Australia (Janet Walton¹, Hugh Pringle² and Col Stanton³ ) 1: Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, South Australia. Email [email protected] 2.Director of EMU™. Email [email protected] 3.Natural Resources, Environment, The Arts and Sport. Email [email protected] Key Words: Trust, Empathy, Attitude Abstract: Bringing about positive change and the wise use of rangelands is more about enabling landholders to enhance their knowledge and build their skills rather than bringing modern science to “teach”. Pastoralists across the South Australian Arid Lands (SAAL) Natural Resources Management (NRM) Region, have embraced the Ecosystem Management Understanding (EMU)™ approach because it values and blends their local knowledge with scientific expertise in a conducive environment. Through participating in the EMU™ Projects, land managers have shifted their focus from trying to resurrect dysfunctional landscapes typified by exacerbated landscape droughting to key problems jeopardising their most productive and healthy country. This is a very different approach to that conventionally used in the Decade of Landcare and promoted by administration bodies at the time. Here we present a succinct and general review of EMU™ in South Australia from 2009 to today. What is EMU™? The Ecosystem Management Understanding (EMU™) is a voluntary, confidentiual, unique and holistic land management approach for land managers. It builds on the solid foundation of local knowledge of country and combines this vital link with scientific expertise to build landscape literacy through nurturing landholder skills to read landscape processes, condition and trend.

A Standalone Hybrid Power System for the Outback Community of Oodnadatta in South Australia
Zeszyty Problemowe – Maszyny Elektryczne Nr 93/2011 185 Ranjeeta Kaur Singh, Özdemir Göl, Andrew Nafalski University of South Australia A STANDALONE HYBRID POWER SYSTEM FOR THE OUTBACK COMMUNITY OF OODNADATTA IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA Abstract: Hybrid electrical power systems consisting of a combination fossil fuels powered generators and renewable energy sources in standalone grid-off configurations are gaining prominence in remote communities where grid extension are difficult and often very costly. This paper focuses on the design of a hybrid power system in an outback community of South Australia – Oodnadatta. An optimal standalone hybrid power system comprising photovoltaics, diesel and propane is proposed with the lowest levelised Cost of Electricity (COE) with at least 10% solar contribution. The proposed hybrid system is designed with the HOMER software utilising average daily solar radiation values for the years 2007-2009 and estimated power consumption data. The existing conventional power system in Oodnadatta is also modelled to compare and contrast with the proposed hybrid system to assess its impact on COE and greenhouse gas emissions. 1. Introduction tariff. This has changed with new tariffs Countries around the world have been making introduced on 7 March 2011, which in some commitments to renewable energy.
