Through a series of events that went wrong while cooking dinner at her apartment in Thailand on 11 April, 2018 Victoria was rushed to a Thai hospital suffering 30% burns to her upper body. 37 year old Victoria is sharing her story through the Coober Pedy Regional Times, reaching out to thank many of those who came to her aid and to perhaps inspire others who may be facing a serious life challenge of their own. Throughout this ordeal (far from over) Victoria has shown strength and courage that might rival some of history’s finest women warriors. Victoria relived her ordeal for our story: “I was heating up a pot of oil on a portable burner, which is what I use for cooking at home in Chiang Mai Thailand. I had the window open and the was fan on! Margaret Mackay © “While the oil was heating I was dashing around doing washing and other things. Suddenly I noticed smoke and Victoria Nikoloudis just discharged from the Adelaide Burns Unit and at ‘home’ in Coober Pedy with saw the oil was on fire. My mind began racing. I knew not to put water onto the burning oil but I didn’t know dad Jimmy Nikoloudis for a week how to extinguish it.” The pot then flew out of my hands and and that’s when I “I am called Khun Yay - ‘Grandmother’ by the kids”, felt the oil all over my arms, my chest and my neck. My Victoria told us. “In a panic I ran downstairs to the land-lady’s house, face was burning too and fortunately it was only from leaving the door open! There wasn’t anyone there and so the flames; the oil hadn’t reached my face. “One of my projects with the Care Corner children at I ran back upstairs. In that time the flames had tripled their request was Muay Thai or Thai boxing. This is and were almost touching the air-conditioner.” “All I could see were flames.

The areas where exclusive native title rights and interests were recognised were subject to the operation of s. 47A of the Native Title Act 1993 Cwlth. This is the determination contained in this National Native Title Register extract. These two determinations together determined approximately half of the Adnyamathanha No. 1 application.

  • 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.
