Place Names
Osmond, Mount
Nomenclature
Named after Osmond Gilles. (See Place Names - Glen Osmond..)
General Notes
A "New Garden Suburb" is described in the Register, 29 October 1925, page 11a.
- Though the Mount Osmond Estate would be a splendid residential area for artists... the promoters do not depend on that attraction. After investigation they found that the top of the hill was a small plateau eminently suited for the purposes of a public reserve. A genius went along with the suggestion which had the merit of conferring a benefit on the public and adding to the value of the land. His proposal was to convert the summit into golf links and to surround it with building blocks which should extend down every spur on the hill...

Place Names
Ottaway
Nomenclature
On 27 October 1851, George Dale obtained the land grant of section 1160, Hundred of Port Adelaide which he sold to Thomas Ottaway, licensed victualler, in 1853. Upon his death his executors sold the land to Seth Ferry and Robert T. Moore, who laid out the suburb in 1883 and suggested that to the labouring man 'the possession of one or two allotments would probably be the nucleus of a moderate competency and perhaps ultimately lead to a fortune'. It would appear that Messrs Ferry and Moore erred when they instructed the surveyor to head the plan 'Ottoway'.

Are the residents themselves coming around to the opinion I expressed in 1837 - that [Port Adelaide] was only a second class port adapted to the coastal trade... [signed - Y.B. Hutchinson].

O
Place Names
Overland Corner
Nomenclature
Eight kilometres north of Kingston OM. In the early days of the colony Overland Corner had a great significance for the drovers of sheep and cattle, for the well grassed river flats provided a good resting place where stock could recuperate. The inter-colonial stock route also became a mail route and in 1859 it was of sufficient importance to warrant an accommodation house, so a hotel was built there by William and George Brand on behalf of John Chambers who, with his brother James, held the Cobdogla Run.
In the early days of the 20th century it housed the local post office, through the transition from horse coaching to a motorised service in 1913. On completion of the Adelaide-New South Wales telegraph line an overland weekly mail service was inaugurated, the mail being sorted at Overland Corner and conveyed thence to Adelaide by packhorse. The National Trust purchased the property in 1965. The 'Overland Corner Run' was established by J. Scadding in 1875.
General Notes
A horse race meeting is reported in the Register,

Wild bull hunting is described in the Register,

The horsemen take up their stations at a distance from 30 to 50 yards... It generally takes a few bullets to settle them...

Place Names
Ovingham
Nomenclature
John Whinham was born in 1803 at Sharperton, Northumberland, England and in later years was a schoolteacher at Ovingham, near Newcastle-on-Tyne. He arrived in South Australia in 1852 and founded Whinham College, through which passed thousands of youths, many of whom won fame as lawyers and journalists. Upon his retirement the school was conducted by his son, Robert, who met an untimely death in 1884, aged 37, when he fell from a horse. The suburb was laid out in 1875 on sections 113 and 2081, Hundred of Yatala by his son William Whinham (1842-1925).

- We recently called attention to the presence of wireworms in the reticulated water and enforced the necessity of drawing the domestic supply into a transparent vessel so that it can be examined before use. The expediency of adopting this course... acquires additional force from the fact that a resident of Ovingham got more than was desired in the shape of a centipede five inches long...

Place Names
Owen Island
Nomenclature
East of Louth Bay. Probably Henry Walker Owen (1836-1898), who arrived in the Buffalo and took up pastoral lease no. 2479 in 1875 over Taylor, Grindall and Williams Islands.
General Notes

Osmanli Reef - Oxford Landing
O
Place Names
Owen
Nomenclature
Governor Jervois named this town 16 km north-west of Hamley Bridge which was proclaimed on 1 May 1879 and with his inclination to glorify family and friends, (see, for example, Place Names - Cradock, Place Names - Paskeville and Place Names - Penneshaw.), together with his military background, there would appear to be little doubt that he named it after Henry Charles Cunliffe-Owen (1821-1867), a Lieut-Colonel in the Royal Engineers who passed out from the Royal Military Academy in 1839, the same year that Governor Jervois went into the Academy at Woolwich. He fought in the Crimean War, lost a leg and was invalided home.
Another candidate for its nomenclature is mentioned in the Register, 24 February 1881, page 6b where it is reported that "His Excellency the Governor [Jervois] kindly promised to telegraph to Sir Philip Cunliffe-Owen, London..."; he was a younger brother of Henry Charles Cunliffe-Owen. Of interest is the fact that a Brigadier-General Owen was the Commandant of SA defence forces in the 1880s and one of his officers was a Major Jervois (no doubt the son of Gov Jervois) - see Register, 31 July 1885, page 7h.
