  • Place Names of South Australia: W

    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.

    Former Christ Church School and Outbuildings

    Heritage of the City of Adelaide FORMER CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL AND OUTBUILDINGS 81-83 Jeffcott Street This building was associated with the first church school in North Adelaide and it emphasises the importance placed on church education by the individual religious groups, in this case, the Anglican Church. Christ Church School opened in 1849 and played a prominent part in the educational life of North Adelaide. Before the State Education Act was passed in 1875, the school prospered, transferring to a new site opposite Christ Church in Jeffcott Street where this school building was erected to the design of Wright and Woods. The foundation stone was laid on 27 September 1868 by Mrs Hamley (wife of the lieutenant-governor), with a bottle containing the architect's name and G. Bradley’s name, the builder, placed beneath the stone. The dimensions of the schoolroom were 60 feet by 30 feet by 25 feet. # B E AC 1 1# D :\P HThe O building, TO appropriately _ C D constructed \IM AG in the E S \IM G 0 03 4 .P C D 630 9 30 7 11 3 44 866 0 12 5 98 866 0 12 5 98 P B 4 0 25 31 243 348 0 Gothic style, was of limestone rubble with brick dressings and strings. It is similar to St Paul's Day School in Flinders Street, also by E.J. Woods. The austere facade of the building is relieved by the porch, the neatly constructed trefoil and polychrome brickwork over the tripartite window. Following the passing of the Education Act and the erection of the North Adelaide Model School in Tynte Street, the school fell on hard times, being forced to close in 1877.

    k JISTER NOMINATION REPORT Date: 21/11/84 Item Reference: 6429-11167 YELTA MINE AND SMELTER HISTORIC SITE HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE Historically, the Yelta site is significant as a second-rank mining and smelting complex, ancillary to the larger Moonta area adjacent. Physically, the site contains relics of most elements of the copper smelting process. It was the third largest copper smelter in the State (after Wallaroo and Surra), and now has the most substantial surface remains of the three. Environmentally, the site covers a large area in an otherwise rural landscape, but it is relatively inconspicuous, and its scale and complexity became apparent only on close inspection. The integrity of the site is poor. All useful plant has been removed, but more remains than on comparable sites. NOMINATION SOURCE/THREAT/OWNER This report has been prepared as part of a continuing process of assessing items within the Copper Triangle. Most of the site is Crown Land, leased to the National Trust, and part is agricultural leasehold held by Mr. R. Leeton of Moonta. There is no known threat. HERITAGE CONSERVATION BRANCH RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that this item be included on the Register of State Heritage Items, and that it be categorized Hl, H2, H3.

    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.
  • Opinion in the Bush Is That They Are T

    Opinion in the Bush Is That They Are T

    H Who the Annas, Joannas and Carolines are, no one I suppose knows or cares to know; the… opinion in the bush is that they are the names of those kindly-disposed young ladies who so frequently call on Mr Beddome in the forenoon… by-the-by I fear that something serious has happened to one of them as I see in the Gazette of July 16 the Surveyor-General refers to the ‘west part of Blanche’. (Register, 3 August 1868, page 3c) Habel Landing - On section 62, Hundred of Pyap and named after Wilhelm E. Habel (1856-1926) ‘of Loxton Hut’, who obtained the land grant of section 14B on 31 May 1911. One of the most successful farmers in the district and ‘with a generosity that characterises Germans’: Mr Habel is marking the occasion of his daughter’s marriage in a manner which is causing a great flutter in riverside society. A pine hall has been specially built, capable of seating 80 people and the steamer, Gem, had 20 of Mr Habel’s guests on board last Sunday, all the way from Duttontown [sic], near Kapunda. Loxton’s Hut will be the centre of much rejoicing and merry-making this week. [See Duttonton] Hack Bridge - In 1850, the Register reported the completion of this bridge approximately one kilometre north of Mylor on a road between sections 3325-26, Hundred of Noarlunga. More properly known as the ‘Onkaparinga Bridge’, it was built by Mr Pitman of Adelaide; ‘[it] is now finished and thrown open to the public. It is on the Macclesfield road and is the boldest bridge as to design yet built in the colony.
  • The Memory of Deadly Battlefields And

    The Memory of Deadly Battlefields And

    P The memory of deadly battlefields and desperate sieges is preserved in the title of some beautiful hamlet; while the scattered inhabitants of a secluded village rejoice in the borrowed plumes of some crowded European city. English and colonial statesmen are immortalised in hundred, river or agricultural area and royalty has not been forgotten… It is a matter for gratitude that… some of the euphonious and appropriate native names have survived the ordeal. (Advertiser, 12 August 1882, page 7c) Packard Bend - Situated on the River Murray, near Blanchetown. The 1864 date of the fatal drowning as stated by Rodney Cockburn in What’s In a Name would appear to be false because the Register of 29 September 1866 at page 4h says: ‘Francis Packard, a member of Mr Ebenezer MacGeorge’s survey party and formerly a member of the Northern Territory expedition [has] been drowned in the Murray… the body has not been recovered…’ Earlier, on 31 August 1866 it is said that the fatality occurred at ‘a station called Piapco … after swimming 150 yards he sank like a stone… The reminiscences of J.H. Packard, who arrived in the Asia in 1851,.are in the Observer, 1 January 1927 and an obituary on 17 August 1929: My personal experiences carry me back to 1868 when George Woodroffe Goyder was Surveyor-General of South Australia…The government of the day always consulted him in all matters connected with Crown lands, roads and proposed railways. He was never satisfied with the circuitous interstate railway… Being one of his surveyors he asked if I would care to undertake to survey an alternative line through the Torrens Gorge… [He concludes with a comprehensive summary of erroneous surveys made in connection with interstate boundaries - see under ‘South Australia’.] Paddington - An 1877 subdivision of part section 422, Hundred of Yatala, by James Williams and James W.
