Place Names of South Australia - A
Angle Pole Waterhole - Anlaby
Angle Pole Waterhole
Nomenclature
Near Oodnadatta. The overland telegraph line took a sharp turn at this place. Lord Forrest camped there on 28 September 1874 after his exploration from Geraldton, WA. Its Aboriginal name was carulinia.
General Notes
"A Trip to Angle Pole" is reported in the Register,
27 December 1913, page 5c:
-
It gained its name from a simple origin - after a storm one of the telegraph poles was bent out of line and so the title stuck. At the water hole the water comes to the surface in a heated state, showing the rapidity of its passage. It is brackish and unfit for human consumption in its native state, but stock drink it readily. When boiled, it makes delicious tea, the brackishness imparting a delightful flavour. The dam at the site is a vast pool of water and makes a welcome halting place. It provided water for camels, the bathing ground for the Afghans and a lake for panting residents to row upon on midsummer nights. Reeds and rushes grow in a charming green fringe athwart the rippling water.

Place Names
Angle Vale
Nomenclature
The 'angle' is formed by the junction of Heaslip, Fradd and Angle Vale roads. The town, 8 km ENE of Virginia, was laid out on part section 4140, Hundred of Munno Para by George Crisp (c.1827-?) in 1868 and gazetted as an Adelaide suburb on 14 April 1983.
General Notes
The settlement and district is described in the Register, 13 August 1867, page 3d:
-
About five miles from Smithfield and half a mile from the Gawler River there is a small but growing township which has been known for a little more than 12 months by the name of Angle Vale, and for 10 months of that time we have had a post office opened, at which we receive and send twice a week, though this does not meet our necessities as fully as we would wish. We have not yet got the principal establishment that constitutes a colonial township - a public house - but we have the second, a blacksmith's shop, which we consider an institution of more importance to our prosperity than the former, and this may account to some extent for the absence among our labouring class of that poverty which appears to be so widely spread an evil at the present time.
Its school was opened in 1868. Mr R.G. Symonds, a former assistant-surveyor to Colonel Light, taught at the school and an attendance journal for the period July 1870 to March 1872 is to be found in Personal Record Group 268 in the Mortlock Library.

Angle Pole Waterhole - Anlaby
A
Place Names
Angorichina
Nomenclature
Sixteen kilometres east of Parachilna; derived from the Aboriginal janaritjina - 'open place' or 'wide valley'. The 'Angorigina (sic) Run' was named by H.C. Swann in 1867 on country which was originally held by Septimus Boord from October 1853 (lease no. 1591). Mr H.C. Swann was born in Northumberland, England in 1834 and came to South Australia in the Norna in 1854 and died in 1908.
General Notes

The purchase of Angora goats by Mr Swan from Mr Fowler on Yorke Peninsula is reported in the Register,
24 August 1868, page 2g; also see
22 February 1870, page 5d:
-
A shepherd in the employ of Mr. Swan, Angorichina, passed through Kadina this week on his way to the station of Mr. Fowler on the Peninsula to fetch from thence a flock of Angora goats which Mr. Swan has purchased. There are about 200 of them and the shepherd expects to start with them in about a fortnight as he thinks the kids will then be old enough to travel. Mr. Swan thinks they will be more profitable in the north than sheep as they live by nibbling at the bushes in a very dry time and they can also do with less water than sheep. Mr. Fowler has not found them to do very well on the Peninsula; it is supposed the country is too hilly for them.

Angle Pole Waterhole - Anlaby
A
Place Names
Anlaby
Nomenclature
Section 1275 (120 acres), Hundred of Waterloo 16 km NNE of Kapunda was surveyed at the request of F.H. Dutton in 1843 (a notation to this effect is shown on the River Light Special Survey plan). The section was originally granted to G.F. Angas and others, (i.e., The South Australian Company), on 17 June 1844 and, on 23 September 1850, Frederick Hansborough Dutton (1812-1890) obtained it for the sum of £2, 120. At a later date he purchased nine adjoining sections and named the property after a village near Hull, Yorkshire, England which means 'dwelling of Anlaf'- one Anlaf was king of Northumbria, 941-952. In 1234 it was written as anlaweby where by is Old Saxon for 'a village'.
General Notes

15 September 1941; also see

A sketch is in the Pictorial Australian in

A "Native Funeral" is in the Advertiser, 3 November 1866, page 2f:
-
On Sunday 28 October 1866 a number of natives arrived about to inter a female, whom they brought with them, wrapped up and covered with green boughs. The manager of the estate who was present had ordered that the funeral should be no longer delayed, the corpse having been kept some eight or nine days to please 'Old Maria', the aunt of the deceased - they were very much attached to one another.
The burial place was prettily situated in a wood, and had been used previously for the like purpose, several places covered with bark denoting that they were graves of the tribe, and the whole was surrounded by a circle within a portion of which latter the body was to be interred. The deceased was about 20 years of age and her husband was present, collecting from time to time green boughs.
The first thing they did was to walk to and fro between two trees making great lamentations, the aunt, Maria, being very conspicuous in her grief, the men at the same time sitting down and several of them crying bitterly. After a time the spot for the grave was selected, being carefully measured with their feet; the size was very small, fit only, according to our ideas, for a child. The digging of the grave took a long time and the women left off crying and moved about laughing and smoking at times, but Maria would every now and then recollect herself and begin the wail.
One little black child seemed a favourite and was allowed to sit on the corpse, the people wailing all the time. On the grave being finished the uncle of the deceased approached the corpse and whispered something to it - another man did the like. The body was moved gradually on to the grave and, during this operation, the women sat down, each apart, and made still greater lamentations, waving green boughs as if to keep off all evil spirits from the deceased.
The way the body was interred was singular. The bottom of the grave was carefully covered with bark and then with reeds, the corpse being laid on the latter, sewn up and covered over with an opossum rug. It was then, alternately, covered with bark and reed, the women doing this operation, having their heads covered with handkerchiefs, and the men with hats on. Eight or ten inches of earth were then put on to make it even with the ground and a mound was raised about 15 inches higher.
