Burnside

Nomenclature

It has been recorded that Peter Anderson (1808-1880) arrived in South Australia in 1839, 'with a letter of introduction from Sir James Fergusson of Archerfield, Scotland. He had a land grant and selected a block with the Second Creek running through it and built a house - this he called Burnside'. A search at the General Registry Office revealed that he leased section 320, Hundred of Adelaide from the SA Company. On 27 January 1848 he assigned his lease in respect of sixty-seven acres to William Randall (1820-1898) who, on 27 October 1850, registered the purchase of the freehold of section 320 from the SA Company and on the same day sold Lot 25 to F.A. McPherson for £56. This memorial recites 'which section has been subdivided by William Randall and laid out as the village of Burnside'.

General Notes

In respect of its nomenclature the Express of 4 January 1898, page 2d says:

Mr. William Randall was the first [sic] to occupy land now known as Burnside which he purchased as an 80-acre section and gave it its present name. He took up several other properties among which was the beautiful estate of Randalsea at Second Valley. Later he was appointed clerk of the local courts at Port Pirie and Redhill...

The stages immediately before him [B.H. Babbage] are easy and the advance of his camp will be unattended with risk of difficulty - namely from the Elizabeth to the new station forming by Mr. Smith, where there is plenty of water.... thence to a water hole lying northward... That is the most distant point which Mr. Burrt has visited, but the blacks have assured him of water at similar stages for 200 miles further.

Butcher Soak

The soak is described in the Observer,

To determine the supply of water in the rockhole, Mr. Redman of the Engineer-in-Chief's Department, has made an inspection of the locality. He found the water in the rockhole to be a soakage and not connected with underground streams... Mr. Redman, who is an authority on Aboriginal nomenclature, took the liberty of altering the name Butcher's Soak to Pichinga, the native name for the place of pines. The new title was written on a board and nailed to a tree close by. He was struck with the numbers and the remarkable variety of parrots, as well as the extreme tameness of the birds...

Its Aboriginal name was pichinga - see Register,
31 July 1912, page 11e - which, no doubt, was corrupted to "Peebinga".

The school opened in 1922 and changed its name to "Peebinga" in 1927.

In Parliament he received the nick-name of 'Dismal Dick' but earned a high reputation for financial ability. He became Premier in March 1905 but was defeated when Parliament met on 20 July. In May 1919 his political career suffered a severe reverse when, as Minister of Agriculture, irregularities were found in the bulk wheat handling scheme. In 1919 a Royal Commission found he had used his position to gain minor electoral advantages but a later Royal Commission in 1920 apparently vindicated him and he was elected speaker in 1921.

Butler Bay, "westward of Scott's Bay", was named in 1910 - see Advertiser,

The Advertiser of 23 October 1909 says:

At the terminus of the Port Lincoln railway - that first stage of forty miles - the government has put down a tank of no mean proportions. This is the largest artificial reservoir on the whole of the West Coast... Sunk to a depth of 20 feet in the solid clay, the reservoir, with its surrounding heaped-up embankments, concrete water chute and extensive and elaborate system of drains, was within a few weeks of completion filled to the brim...
