Aaron Creek
Nomenclature
Runs through section 34, Hundred of Waitpinga. Aaron Bennett, who arrived in the Indian in 1849 aged forty. He owned section 111 in the same Hundred which he sold to James Collins for £28/10/0 in January 1857.
General Notes
The reminiscences of Aaron Bennett's son are in the Register,
2 December 1920, page 10h:
-
In December 1920, Mr. W. Bennett of Delamere, the second son of Aaron Bennett, celebrated his diamond wedding. He came to South Australia with his parents in the barque Indian in 1849 following which his father was employed as a wheelwright by Mr. J.G. Coulls in Blyth Street. Within a few years he had accumulated sufficient funds to purchase land in southern Fleurieu Peninsula and it was there he started mixed farming. The family travelled from Adelaide in a bullock dray over rough 1tracks and the journey occupied a fortnight. There were no improvements on the place of any kind - neither house, fencing or cleared land.
The first work was to build a house, which was of slabs, with thatch roof and earth floor, calico windows and contained three rooms in which the family lived for a number of years. The next job confronting them was to clear the land which was thickly timbered. It was long and expensive work and to clear 20 acres a year was considered to be an achievement. However, they had their reward when the land produced heavy crops that were hand-reaped. The wheat was threshed out by bullock power and cleansed by the wind as there were no winnowers or threshers in those far off days, while the nearest post office and store was at Yankalilla, 15 miles away.
As the population increased at Delamere the settlers clubbed together and built a Methodist Church; a Sunday school opened and Mr. Bennett became one of the first scholars. Later, the day school was built.

-
When the metropolitan abattoir was established in the second decade of the 20th century it was considered that it would be 'the making of Gepps Cross' - 'already the transformation of this comparatively insignificant township is becoming apparent.' The contract for the building was let to Messrs Wadey & Co. of Melbourne and amounted to £106,000 and spoil from the excavations was used to fill up low lying land in the direction of the Cavan Arms Hotel. The initial work at Gepps Cross consisted of surveying the 486 acres and taking levels for water, drainage, building and railway purposes and the Gepps Cross railway station was built adjacent to the slaughter house.
The problem of water supply was solved effectively by the sinking of three bores which yielded upwards of 7,000 gallons per hour. The water was excellent for stock, irrigation and washing-down purposes, but unsuitable for boilers or domestic purposes. To meet this need a new steel main was laid down from the Barossa. The land not required for the buildings was farmed and thatched stacks of hay testified to the success of those operations.
When completed the cattle yards were capable of holding 2,000 head of cattle and 50,000 sheep which was nearly double existing facilities in Adelaide. Sixteen working men's cottages were constructed on the Gawler road north of the abattoirs and there were three villas and a manager's residence on the southern side.

Informatiom from Mr Geoffrey Chard of Cannonsvale, Queensland, states that Geoffrey Bishop in Stringybark to Orchards mentions the name. Further, his records show that members of his ancestral family were born at "Abbott's Flat, nr. Lobethal and Tiers nr. Lobethal" over the period 1869-1873. Their residence was located on Section 5144 about midway between Forest Range and Lobethal. He concludes with the suggestion that "Abbott" may have been a shepherd who worked for an early landholder.

Aberdeen
Nomenclature
On the west bank of the Burra Creek opposite Redruth adjacent to the Bon Accord mine; a subdivision of section 4, Hundred of Kooringa by Robert A.A. Morehead and Matthew Young in 1849, when they advertised 'lots in this rising township to be let on lease...'
General Notes
A sale of allotments in the township is reported in the Register,
19 September 1849, page 2b:
-
The sale of the township of Aberdeen, Burra Burra, announced to take place on Saturday, September 15, attracted a great number of persons. The minerals being reserved, prevented the Burra company from attempting to monopolise the place, as they pretty well did the township of Redruth, sold on the 29th August. The number of lots offered for sale was 144, but the eloquence of the auctioneer could not dispose of more than about 20. The impression among intending purchasers was that the prices required were much too high. The proprietors, doubtless, had in their minds the high prices that the Redruth allotments were sold for, but in that township no reservation of mineral's existed, consequently the Burra proprietors bid against all those who were likely to purchase for building purposes. There is no doubt that had the prices been moderate the entire of the township would readily have found purchasers and have been speedily covered with buildings.
A graphic description of a mail coach trip from Pekina to Aberdeen is in the Register, 18 October 1870, page 6d:
-
We left Pekina at 3.45 p.m. on Tuesday, September 6 by McDonald & Hoskin's coach, carrying, besides Her Majesty's mails, nine passengers, exclusive of the driver and guard. The first stage was accomplished without anything to mar the enjoyment of a drive of some 18 miles over what is known as the Pekina Plains; but as evening set in the sky appeared overcast, heavy clouds hung about the ranges of hills on either side, the lightning became more vivid, and the peals of thunder, which were at first scarcely perceptible, increased with such vehemence that we no longer entertained any doubt of an approaching storm. Looking southward the "windows of heaven" had already opened, and at a considerable distance ahead the rain appeared to be falling in dense masses.
At 6.16 p.m. we changed horses, and had not proceeded more than two or three miles when our predictions were verified. The ground on either side of the track was covered with water to the depth of from 6 to 30 inches, and varying in width from 1 to 800 yards... The ground was saturated to such a depth as to make it terrible work for the horses, whose steaming sides and panting breath told too plainly the severe work they had to do. On, however, they went, the driver keeping them as near the track as possible. The rain fell faster and faster, the coach rolled, the passengers held on...
Six or seven miles of such travelling, with occasional plunges through a creek or watercourse, when the horses got their backs washed, and we are on comparatively dry land. The rain has now ceased, the clouds are dispersing, another fresh team, and at 9.30 p.m. we reach Canowie. A cheerful fire, a supper... and we again proceed - this time on foot, for the road has been partially fenced just after leaving Canowie, and is so contrived that a heavily-laden coach is more likely to come to grief than not. However, the skilful driver manages to turn a sharp angle on a sideling, and, sliding down a steep hill without any accident, picks up his passengers, who have been trying the depth of mud and water.
The weather is again changing, the clouds blacker and heavier than ever, the rain drops full, thick, and fast, and the moon struggles in vain to show us our way... Another half-hour and we come to a standstill. "Gentlemen, it's no use", says the driver, "we shall knock up the horses. I'll carry you on my back to that fence, and you must try and get on the high ground." Some of us submit ourselves to the sturdy back of the coachman, while others wade through the water, and pick out the hardest of the mud to walk on...
We are on what is known as the Booborowie Flat, and the flood is perceptible some miles ahead, and where we are standing a mile in width. The horses, now relieved of part of their load, are again moving... Presently we hear a plunge, and turning to look, we see the horses struggling to get the coach out of a hole. They succeed, but not till the water has found its way over the footboard... A little further, and the light of Booborowie Dining-hall is seen at a distance of some three miles. The guard blows his horn, the horses plunge forward, apparently conscious that they are approaching the end of their stage, when the driver again stops them to "wind" and we all listen to the strange noise some 50 yards on our right.
"Do you hear that?", exclaimed guard and driver in one breath; and we do hear it, and are informed there is the head of the Broughton, and within a short distance of us 15 feet of water; the depth where we are is some four feet, and the flood is rushing through the wheels like a sluice... the lighthouse at Booborowie becomes visible and we step out into a foot of water, and thus ends another stage at 2 a.m. Some coffee and a change of horses, and we make a fresh start now in total darkness... on we go through holes and creeks, across swamps and morasses, now uphill and again down an incline. The night, or morning, is as black as the grave... The guard alights and is instantly lost in the fog. Some minutes of suspense, and then a loud "cooey"... More dashing and rolling [and] we reach Copperhouse - for the last two hours and a half rain, merciless and pitiless, blackness and darkness.
We have still two miles or more, and it must be done. Again we push on, and in ten minutes have turned the corner of a fence. Once more we hear the sound of many waters, broken only by the sharp crack of the driver's whip. We sit with bated breath, waiting for the finale. The water deepens, now it is up to the horses' backs; a telegraph post within a foot of the wheels tells us we are near the road, and also near a smash. A few more plunges and a dim light in the distance. We breathe again more freely, and by the time we feel secure and are rousing the landlord of the Aberdeen Hotel - at 5 a.m.
And so it came to pass we reached our destination. No bones were broke, nor was anyone drowned, although if either of these contingencies had happened none need have felt surprised. The wonder is why it was not so.

Aberfoyle Park
Nomenclature
The majority of the land now included in this Adelaide suburb, the boundaries of which were proclaimed on 10 July 1980, was first owned by Christian Sauerbier in the 1850s. He was born in Germany in 1814 and later settled in Scotland from whence he emigrated to New South Wales, arriving in South Australia in the Dorset, in 1845. Christian Sauerbier died on 21 October 1893 and he devised the majority of his property to his son, John Christian Sauerbier who, on 1 September 1917, changed his name to John Chris Aberfoyle; he died in 1923 aged 67 and the suburb was laid out in 1924 by James Henry Browne.
Aberfoyle is a locality name in the County of Perth, Scotland and was possibly the domicile of Christian Sauerbier. In 1481 the name Aberfoyle was rendered abirfull - 'influence of the streams'.
The sale of 'Aberfoyle Estate', the assigned estate of J.H. Browne, comprising 994 acres, was advertised for sale in July 1926:
- For many years occupied by the late Mr Chris Aberfoyle... The residence is of massive construction, encircled by wide verandahs and occupying an elevated site...

A
Place Names
Accommodation Hill
Nomenclature
It lies about 15 km east of Truro; no record can be found which indicates with any certainty when this name was applied to the hill but it appears that by 1851 the word 'accommodation' was used in connection with this area, as a letter from Corporal Crocker, Royal Sappers and Miners, a surveyor, to Captain Freeling, Surveyor-General on 3 February 1851 says: '... about two miles north of the accommodation yard on the Moorundie road'. A Lands Department plan of 1851 shows 'Accommodation Yard' marked on a water reserve on a creek about half a mile south of the main Truro-Blanchetown road at the foot of the hill.
This yard was used as a resting place for teams making the journey from Blanchetown to Truro, a distance of thirty-two miles, while the adjoining area was known as the 'Dustholes' for, in October 1855, a survey of section 5 has the note 'known as Dustholes'; land grants in this locality were issued in 1855 to 'Lachlan McBean of Dustholes'. He had held adjacent land under occupation licence from 6 March 1845 'Between Hills and Scrub'.

A Visit to Adare - A Bird's Paradise - By Captain S.A. White
The gates of Adare were entered. Oh! What a change! The sheltered influence and sweet scent of the forest trees were at once, and the many voices of our glorious Australian birds came from every side... Down at the end of the garden near the river bank a great babble of birds came from the bright flowering Western Australian gum trees of several varieties which were in full bloom... One could easily see that this charming spot was part of a sanctuary for birds, not only by the drinking vessels placed in suitable places about in the garden, but by the great numbers and confiding numbers of our most beautiful avifauna....
That night retiring to bed, I threw up the window and looked out upon the moonlit scene. The heavy artillery of the heavens was in action over the land, lightning flashed, followed by the deep reports which rolled seaward. A glimmer of light marked where the restless old ocean flung itself against the granite bound coast, just as it did when the Lindsay's and other colonists came first to that locality. Above all these came a clear call 'more nork' every 30 seconds, for a boobook owl was over on Mount Breckan hillside among the peppermint gums... I did not hear a mate reply, but no doubt it was not far off...
Making my way up a hill at the back of the house, I was delighted to see the splendid regeneration of sheaoaks and many native shrubs. It is wonderful how quickly in many localities our indigenous flora makes its appearance if stock be fenced off... My heartfelt thanks go out to the bird friends at Adare...

An editorial concerning the wreck is in the Register,
9 August 1859, page 2a,
17 September 1859, page 4e.
-
A collection of manuscripts relative to the wreck of the Admella off Cape Northumberland in 1859 was presented to the Public Library Board by Mr. R.T. Silvester, of Portland, for preservation purposes. The wreck forms one of the most sensational episodes in South Australian history and the story of the heroic rescue of the survivors after a week of terrible suffering will never lose its interest.
The Admella, a small steamer of 360 tons, had been plying regularly between Port Adelaide and Melbourne for about a year when, on 5 August 1859, she left Port Adelaide for what was to be her last trip with 113 souls on board. At four o'clock next morning, when the vessel was approaching Cape Northumberland, the captain believed himself to be about thirteen miles from land. In reality, however, the ship was close to a dangerous reef, an error of reckoning having risen either from a derangement of the compass or, more probably, from a current which carried the vessel shorebirds.
Suddenly she grated on a reef and, heeling over, lay broadside on to the heavy seas. An effort was made to lower the boats, but two of them were smashed and the third broke adrift. In less than fifteen minutes the Admella broke into three parts and several passengers were washed overboard. At dawn the mainland could be seen about a mile and a half away, but no habitations of any kind wee visible and those on the wreck turned their eyes to seawards for assistance.
At 8 am the Havilah, a sister ship, steamed by but her passengers, though visible from the Admella, failed to observe the signals of distress improvised by those on the wreck. Two men attempted to gain the shore on pieces of timber, but they were carried out to sea by a current. On the second day the sea was calmer and two seamen, John Leach and Robert Knapman, succeeded in reaching the shore with the assistance of a raft. For a time they lay exhausted on the beach and, after quenching their thirst at a marsh, they hurried to Cape Northumberland.
The lighthouse keeper rode to Mount Gambier and a telegraph message was sent to Adelaide, following which a rescue party was dispatched in the Corio from Port Adelaide; she arrived at the scene of the tragedy on Thursday. By that time the poor creatures, who had clung to the wreck for five days and nights,. were in a pitiable plight. They were tormented by hunger and thirst and suffered terribly from the cold, for their spray-drenched limbs grew numb under a biting wind. One by one those on the forecastle, chiefly women and children, had been swept off by the boisterous waves.
A boat's crew dispatched from the Corio found it impossible to approach the wreck owing to heavy seas, but on Friday morning the Lady Bird arrived on the scene bringing the Portland lifeboat and a whaleboat belonging to the Portland Whaling Company following which a rescue attempt proved unsuccessful. Next morning the sea was calmer and an effort was made to effect a rescue in the Admella's lifeboat which had been cast ashore a few days before. Twenty four passengers were saved.
