Nomenclature

H.C. Talbot said: The name is of Indian origin. As far back as 1839 James Stein held pastoral country there under occupation licence. He had a number of coolies in his employ as shepherds and hut keepers, who called the creek, which ran through the run, "Burra Burra'', Hindoostanee for "great-great''.

However, the following facts cast some doubts on this nomenclature. Stein was born in Scotland and his father was a member of the House of Commons and his sister Ann was the Countess of Fife. This Scottish affiliation creates an interesting situation because the name 'Burra' occurs in the Shetland Islands, off Scotland, and in 1299 it was written as borgarfiord - Old Norman for 'a fort, stronghold, a fortified hill', where borg means 'a fort'.

In the early days of his pastoral pursuits in South Australia his log hut would, no doubt, have been built with loopholes to protect himself against attacks from Aborigines and as an educated man it is not beyond comprehension that he was aware of the origin of the Scottish 'Burra' and because of his 'fortifications' named the place accordingly. For a time Stein (c.1804-1877) was in partnership with E.P.S. Sturt and, later, helped to advance the pastoral industry in the South-East. He died at Mount Gambier in 1877 aged 73.

A Reminiscence of Adelaide and Burra in 1849 by Thomas Hair

(Taken from Geoffrey H. Manning, Hope Farm Chronicle, p. 57.)

The first sight of South Australia did not impress me. The coast was very rocky with a forest of low bushes and small trees. The trip up the Port River was not much better from a farmer's point of view.

After a good feed of Australian bread and beef we took a stroll around Port Adelaide; its circuit in those days did not occupy us for very long. There was a native encampment near the wharf and we thought them strange looking creatures.

Our next move was to find lodgings in the city of Adelaide and we spent our first night at the Adelaide Hotel in Hindley Street. The next day the three of us rented a tiny cottage in Sturt Street for seven shillings a week. Having settled in with our meagre possessions, Buxton and I tramped through Adelaide looking for work which was hard to come by at the time. After a fortnight of fruitless searching we decided to strike out for the Burra.

We found the driver of a bullock team which was heading off for the Burra mine to load ore and, having negotiated a fare, we set off on a tedious trip which was to occupy 14 days. The weather was wet; the roads badly cut up and for Mrs Buxton it was a most trying journey. She cried bitterly at times and it was not much wonder.

With incessant rain beating down on us we finally struggled into Burra and were fortunate to find an empty store with an attached room as a temporary home. It was most spartan as regards appointments - an earthen floor, rafters covered with cobwebs, deal boxes to serve as chairs and tables and no fireplace. Mrs Buxton had to cook outside and I recall one day she had a good cry when she discovered that a marauding villain had decamped with a tea kettle that had been left on the fire.

Buxton obtained work at the mine the next day at seven shillings per day. He left three shillings and sixpence a day in England, so he was well satisfied. I started to cart firewood for the smelting works with a horse and dray and earned three shillings and sixpence a day.

After a few weeks, with a little money in our depleted pockets we bought an old paling shed and re-erected it near the mine. It was a one room affair. Dividing it into two with a calico partition we moved in, as happy as princes.

In England we all belonged to the Baptist Church but there was no church of that persuasion at Burra, so we attended the Primitive Methodist place of worship. We were told later that Mr Philip Santo, the overseer of building and carpentry work at the mine, was a Baptist and one Sunday afternoon we resolved to introduce ourselves.

We were cordially received by him and his wife and it transpired that Mr Santo belonged to the Grote Street Church of Christ. There being not much difference between our two churches, Mr Santo suggested we should gather at his house each Sunday morning and break bread according to the ancient custom of the Apostles.

With the money I saved and a loan of £10 from my friend Buxton, I bought a team of bulloacks and a dray for £40 and started carting copper to Port Adelaide and Port Wakefield. The venture was profitable and it was an independent life.

On one trip I left with a man named Hewett and all went well until we reached Kapunda, where i felt the sandy blight affecting my eyes. It was the month of January 1851; the roads were hot and dusty and by the time we reached Smithfield, where we camped for the night, I was in a bad state. To make matters worse, next morning three of my bullocks were missing

For two days we scoured the countryside searching for them, then pondering the situation over the camp fire, I recalled that the bullocks had been owned by a man at Dry Creek. I surmised that they might have wandered off to their old beat, so I headed off on foot to find the former owner.

Upon telling him of my dilemma, he pointed in the direction of some pine trees lying some miles away towards Peachey Belt and said, "You'll find them there."

He kindly put me up for the night and at daybreak I headed off across the Gawler and Para plains and found the three truants dozing under the pine trees.. Upon arrival in Adlaide my eyes were so bad that I could not have recognised my most intimate friends twenty yards away. I unloaded the ore and drove out to Brownhill Creek where we stayed three days to recuperate. I will never forget the experience as long as my memory lasts.

Tiring of bullocking I hired my team out and went to work at the mine among the tributers, dressing ore, for which I was paid 30 shillings a week. I had more time on my hands than I had ever had in my life - hours from 7 am to 3 pm with an hour for dinner; Saturdays and paydays we knocked off at 1 pm.
