Philptown

Nomenclature

Also see Place Names - Chain of Ponds.

Memorial book no. 100, page 152 in the General Registry Office dated 7 May 1856 has an entry which says, inter alia, 'all that Public House messuage and premises situate at Philp Town, Chain of Ponds.' The Philp family held the licence of the Morning Star Hotel for many years; see Memorial Book 16/454, 71/130, 237/236 for background information on the family and the hotel. From the available evidence it is apparent that 'Philp Town' was an alternative name for 'Chain of Ponds'.

The SA Gazette & Mining Journal of 22 July 1848, page 1d has an advertisement stating that Mr Olliver Philp was about to take up the licence of the Morning Star Inn.

General Notes

A Sabbath school anniversary is reported in the Register,
12 January 1855, page 3f.

A proposed school is discussed in the Observer,
4 August 1855, page 4d.

Parliamentary Paper 174/1860 describes it as a school conducted by John Bates with 23 scholars on the roll, while Parliamentary Paper 25/1861 has a map showing it situated between Gumeracha and Inglewood; this may correlate with "Phelptown" as set down in Manning's Place Names of SA, although the Education Department's location of "in the mid-north" negates this to some extent. According to records in the Department of Education the Phelptown School opened in 1861 and closed in 1866.

Piccadilly

Nomenclature

Its nomenclature is tied up with the giant mythical creature called Wano by the Kaurna tribe; picco - 'the eyebrow' and piccoddla - 'the locality of the eyebrow'.

An Essay on Piccadilly

Any discussion surrounding Piccadilly must, assuredly, commence with an appraisal of its nomenclature. In February 1893 it was said that:

Rodney Cockburn, in his Nomenclature of South Australia in 1908 says "it was named by the late Mrs John Young in about 1853 after her birthplace in London" and goes on to say it "comprised the greater part of the sections owned by the late Mr E.C. Homersham", of "Eagle's Nest". Research within the State Library suggests that the 1893 article, and another of August 1907, were the sources for Cockburn's assertion, but as to why he neglected to consider the Aboriginal derivation remains unexplained.

In Kaurna mythology the Mount Lofty Ranges was the body of a gigantic prostrate man called Wano and Uraidla was considered to be the place of his ears, being a corruption of the Aboriginal jureidla - "two ears". N.A. Webb in his Place Names of the Kaurna Tribe says "Marra means 'a hand'; marrana is the plural and means 'the hands or paws' and this has been corrupted to Marino."

This is given credence by documentation in the SA Museum which says: "it is derived from marana meaning 'place of the hand', from the idea that the Mount Lofty Ranges is the body of a recumbent giant man whose hand and arm are on the Marino spur running into the sea between Marino and Hallett Cove." (See Manning's Place Names of South Australia, page 194, where this derivation is disputed.) Returning to the ranges; in an informative article in The Mail, in 1921 he links Gumeracha's nomenclature with the mythical being:

ngarrumuka.

Further, in 1927 Mr Webb wrote in the Adelaide press that:

Eure

dlla

ngga

pico

Eure-dlla

Pico-dlla

In his evocative reminiscences published in 1923 Mr W.J. Cobbledick recalls that he was born at O'Halloran Hill on 17 July 1841, his mother having arrived in the Rajahstan in 1838. Her first husband was supposed to have been drowned in the "Death Hole" in the Torrens Lake. His father arrived in the City of Adelaide in 1839 and for several years was manager for Major O'Halloran. When he was aged four, the family set out on the bush track over Ayliffe Hill in a bullock dray and settled at a place that became known as Cobbledick's Swamp, by which his mother named "Springfield Garden".

He mentions many names of early settlers in the hills - Mr Guppy lived at the Dreary Hill; a gully nearby was called McFidgeon's Gully and he added that Piccadilly was so designated by Mr [sic] Young, "of North Adelaide". "The blacks, although not dangerous, were often troublesome and hung about the houses begging for food. If one was supplied, the whole tribe would appear next day and demand an equal share." The Cobbledick's were the first to grow fruit in the neighbourhood of Crafers, while potatoes were raised from seed obtained from Brown's River, Tasmania, and yielded as much as eight tons to the acre.

Strangely, he had this story to tell about Uraidla in which he invokes an Aboriginal source for its nomenclature:

As for the spiritual needs of residents, the opening services of a new chapel at Piccadilly were held on 9 and 10 April 1882 when the Rev. James Way preached in the morning and evening and Rev. R. Kelley in the afternoon. Subsequently, a public meeting was held in the chapel under the presidency of Mr D. Murray, JP. The Rev S. Rayson read the report from which it appeared that the total cost of the building was about £400 of which £100 had been raised. "The choir rendered some choice selections of music and Mr S.P. Wilson presided at the organ."

In May 1900 a deputation of residents asked the Minister of Education to provide a school at Piccadilly, where there were 50 children of school-going age:

By 1907 several sawmills had been erected in the immediate environs and the oldest remaining landmark was in the form of a solitary chimney, reminding many early residents of bygone days:

The hills had been decimated in respect native trees, particularly in the area of Scott's Creek, (now Dawesley Creek) in the Hundred of Kanmantoo, where a smelter had been utilising this natural resource intermittently from 1857, and near Almanda where, in 1866, the 'Wheal Maria' mine at Scott's Creek was found to be rich in silver. Two years later it was renamed 'Almanda' which name was applied to a subdivision of part section 285, Hundred of Noarlunga, when Sara Ann Mackereth (1820-1882) cut it up, in 1868, as allotments for miners. In its heyday a reporter ventured an opinion on mining operations there:

In earlier days Tiersmen had plundered the indigenous forest and, invariably, adjourned to Mr Crafer's hostelry to expend the fruits of their labour:

Belatedly, in 1907 fifty cork-elm, oak-pine and other evergreen trees were secured from the National Park nursery of which four were planted by Mr Pflaum, MP, Mr Homburg, MP, Cr. Johnson (Chairman of the Crafers District Council) and Mr F. Lampert , who had lived in the district for 42 years. Subsequently, a public tea meeting was held in the council room at the residence of Mrs Sandercock. Mr A. Douglas expressed appreciation of the valuable object lesson recently given to Piccadilly gardeners by the government expert (Mr Quinn), who had "shown them how to make their trees more productive and to market their fruit to the best advantage. The ladies who arranged the tea were Mesdames Sandercock, G. Winter, Bowden, Chapman, Gore, Nicholas and Chaplin. Mr Curtis was secretary of the tree planting committee."

Unfortunately, most of these trees were destroyed by travelling stock and, profiting by that experience, it was decided to protect the planting of 1908 with wire netting. The trees selected were mountain ash, oak, spreading poplar, white cedar and elm, the first planting being performed by Mr Pflaum at the corner of Piccadilly and Summertown Road. At the close of the outdoor proceedings an adjournment was made to Sandercock's rooms where Mr E. Percival had an appetising spread prepared. Mr W. Nicholas, Chairman of the Arbor Day Committee, occupied the chair.

General Notes

"The Origin of Piccadilly", by N.A. Webb, is in the Advertiser, 3 December 1927, page 14c:

It requires much less effort to assume that the place derived its name from the native name of the range than it does to assume that it acquired its name because it reminded some old lady of Piccadilly Circus. The opening of a chapel is reported in the Chronicle,
22 April 1882, page 4f.

Pichi Richi

Nomenclature

In Parliamentary Paper No. 21 of 1857-58 the Pass is referred to as 'Peachey Ritchie'. Professor N.B. Tindale says: It is derived from pitjiritji to which is doubtfully inscribed by Mr Cockburn the meaning of pitjuri, a native narcotic (duboisia) found in the north of our State. This poisonous alkaloid is used for stupefying emus, by baiting the water. Mixed with wood and ashes and animal fur it is chewed as an intoxicant by many tribes, who obtain their supplies by trading with the Wongkamala tribe on the eastern fringe of the Arunta Desert.

The Register, 22 April 1922, page 11 says:

We come to the old Pichi Richi town. The first things to meet the eye are the ruins of the hotel and brewery which was run for a long time by... Billy Beauchamp. We see the remains of numbers of once happy homes for this used to be an old teamsters' town. At the old hotel and brewery Mr William Taylor (long since gone) did good business for many years. The big weeping willow trees round the brewery, the ivy, green and fresh looking, creeping up the ruins of an old chimney make a picture worthy of an artist's skill...
