  • 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.

  • South Australia's Shining Light
    South Australia’s Shining Light John Reginald PORTER, Australia Key words: Colonization, Land administration, historical surveys SUMMARY South Australia’s first Surveyor-General Colonel William Light sailed with his survey team from England in 1836 charged with the responsibility for selecting the site for the new Province’s capital, setting out the city, and subdividing the adjacent rural land. Unlike the earlier settlements in Australia, the Province was to be established under a scheme of orderly colonization that would absorb the poor and unemployed of the United Kingdom and establish a stable, healthy society in new lands. Transport of convicts was to be excluded, while more intensive forms of farming would be encouraged rather than pastoral activities. While Light’s terms of reference for the survey were clear cut, the requirements of the subdivision and disposal of land were complicated by the necessary free-enterprise funding compromises made by the controlling Commissioners in order to proceed. Light was confident that his assigned duties could be carried out successfully and within a reasonable time frame. However, the early “dumping” of emigrants on shore in makeshift camps before the city of Adelaide had been laid out placed considerable pressure on him to compromise his planning and survey approach. He steadfastly refused to do so simply to satisfy a short-term inconvenience. The products of this resolve are evident today in the renowned location and layout of the city of Adelaide, its belt of Parklands, and in the two-dimensional design he adopted for the surrounding lands and roadways of the Adelaide Plains.

  • Brownhill Creek Heritage Trail Brownhill Creek, Hand Tinted Print by Mrs Day Ca 1950
    Brownhill Creek Heritage Trail Brownhill Creek, hand tinted print by Mrs Day Ca 1950. This walk may be undertaken as a single walk or in two parts. The going is mostly level and on well-made tracks. Not all parts of the walk are suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. Walk one starts at Mitcham Reserve and goes to the Lions Club picnic area. Walk two proceeds from the Lions Club picnic area to the end of Brownhill Creek Road. A fold-out map is provided inside the back cover. In summer take care when walking as snakes live in the area. Walking tracks can be quite muddy after heavy rain, so wear suitable footwear. The park may be closed on days of extreme fire danger. You may take your dog on this walk provided it remains under your control on a lead at all times. Please note that dogs are not permitted in the Brownhill Creek Caravan Park. For more information on the history of Brownhill Creek or the Mitcham district visit www.mitchamcouncil.sa.gov.au Images (unless noted), text and concept by City of Mitcham Local History Service. Front Cover: Keith Phillips Collection SLSA PRG1712/1/1. Introduction This walk takes you through Brownhill Creek valley from Mitcham Reserve through Brownhill Creek Recreation Park to the former market gardens at the end of Brownhill Creek Road. Brownhill Creek is valued by the community as a unique cultural landscape and an important natural environment. It is of great significance to the first inhabitants, the Kaurna people who named it ‘Wirraparinga’ – place of scrub and creek.

  • Final Report on the Seven Pines at Brown Hill Creek Recreation Park
    Report on “The Seven Pines” at Brown Hill Creek Recreation Park, Brown Hill Creek, South Australia 5062. Submitted to the City of Mitcham on the Formal Nomination of “The Seven Pines” to the Register of Significant Trees of the National Trust of Australia – South Australia (July 2012). Prepared by Charlie Buttigieg. Assistant to Dr Sue Hughes of the Register of Significant Trees of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria). Tree Nominator to the Register of Significant Trees of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria & South Australia). DEDICATION: This Report is dedicated to the life and work of Margaret Elizabeth “Maggy” Ragless (b. 10th May, 1952 – d. 27th March, 2012), the late Local History Officer/Community Historian at the Mitcham Heritage Research Centre. This Report acknowledges all the volunteers who continue the good work at the Mitcham Heritage Research Centre. “Maggy‟s” passion for researching history and heritage brought to light the August 1891 Minutes of a Mitcham Council Meeting. These Council Minutes recorded George Prince‟s donation of seven young Stone Pines which he suggested to be planted at the “Brown Hill creek reserve”. This significant primary historical document was the foundation of an intensive historical search from June to July 2012 which followed leads as far as Longworth, Berkshire, England, in order to substantiate the social, cultural, historical and botanical significance of “The Seven Pines”.

  • Brownhill Creek Recreation Park Management Plan
    Brownhill Creek Recreation Park Management Plan Mount Lofty Ranges June 2003 Our Parks, Our Heritage, Our Legacy Cultural richness and diversity are the marks of a great society. It is these qualities that are basic to our humanity. They are the foundation of our value systems and drive our quest for purpose and contentment. Cultural richness embodies morality, spiritual well-being, the rule of law, reverence for life, human achievement, creativity and talent, options for choice, a sense of belonging, personal worth and an acceptance of responsibility for the future. Biological richness and diversity are, in turn, important to cultural richness and communities of people. When a community ceases to value and protect its natural landscapes, it erodes the richness and wholeness of its cultural foundation. In South Australia, we are privileged to have a network of parks, reserves and protected areas that continue to serve as benchmarks against which we can measure progress and change brought about by our society. They are storehouses of nature’s rich diversity, standing as precious biological and cultural treasures. It is important to realise that survival of species in ‘island’ reserves surrounded by agriculture or urban areas is uncertain, and that habitat links between reserves are essential for their long-term value as storehouses. As a result of more than a century of conserving nature and cultural items, we possess a “legacy” which is worth passing on to future generations. There are twelve essentials for the protection of our park environments: S Recognition that a primary purpose of our national parks system is to conserve the wide diversity of South Australia’s native plants and animals and to improve their chances of survival through active wildlife management.
