-
A few weeks ago when an attempt was made to put down trial bores on Yatala Shoal, in Backstairs Passage, in order to determine whether an unattended beacon light could be fixed there, it was found that the boring apparatus was not strong enough... What Captain Preston and other masters of mail steamers asked for was a light of some description on Cape St Albans so that navigators would have the three lights - Jervis, St Albans and Willoughby - to steer by in passing the treacherous points of the passage... Happily there appears to be some probability now of the St Albans scheme being given effect to at little expense. An enterprising settler has taken up the land in the neighbourhood and offered to look after the light on the cape at a small weekly remuneration...

Early in the 1860s Mr Wilson was principally known in connection with Musidors and Ebor. In those days the annual meetings in Adelaide were amongst the most important fixtures of the year and both those horses ran on the Thebarton racecourse...

Place Names
Saint Francis Island
Nomenclature
In Nuyts Archipelago was discovered in January 1627 and named Isle St Francois, when the Gulden Zeepard under the command of Francois Thyssen, examined part of the South Australian coastline. Matthew Flinders visited the island on 3 February 1802 and named the group comprising eight isles and a rock 'The Isles of St Francis', in the persuasion that the central one was named 'St Francois' by the Dutch.
General Notes
Historical information is in the Register,
28 December 1914, page 4e.
- The produce from the islands is brought to Murat Bay in the Sunbeam, a ketch owned by Messrs Lloyd & Arnold. St Francis Island has an area of four square miles. The soil is very rich the result of the bones and eggs of millions of mutton birds. It will grow anything in the way of garden stuff, including tomatoes, water melons and hay, so long as there is a fair rainfall....

A school picnic is reported on
16 October 1874, page 3c.
- About three miles south-east from Kapunda... stands the substantial and picturesque little chapel of St John's. As evidence of the former importance of this locality, and as a monument of the enterprise of the first Catholic priests and clergy of this colony, the subject of this sketch will not fail, I trust, to interest readers... Thirty years ago it was considered St John's would be the most central position in which to erect an edifice ... Owing, however, to mineral discoveries, the extension of agricultural interest, together with it being made the terminus of a line of railway, Kapunda succeeded in monopolising the commercial position it was thought Saint Johns would ultimately have attained...

S
Place Names
Saint Kilda
Nomenclature
The name is taken from Saint Kilda Island in the Hebrides, Scotland. There is no such Saint; it is first mentioned in a charter of King Robert II in 1373 by the name 'Hertye' which may mean 'the isle of the far west', while another historian of the same time calls it 'Irte'. In Mercator's map of 1564 and in a map published by Ortelius in 1573 it is shown as 'St. Kylder', 'plainly a seaman's carelessly ascertained form'. In 1579 it is recorded as 'S. Kilder' and by 1698 had assumed its present form.
General Notes
The settlement, prior to the proclamation of the government town, is described in the Register,
29 September 1869, page 2g:
-
I counted 16 houses of one to four rooms each. They form a sort of terrace facing a small sandy beach - just the thing for a few family parties if the many stumps of cut mangroves were but removed. Successful settlers are already having their wooden huts put in order for summer dwellings and bathing.

Saint Margarets
Nomenclature
The plan provided land for a convalescent home, later to become Saint Margaret's Hospital. Queen Margaret was a Scottish Saint and Queen of Scotland; she died in 1093. In 1425 there is a record of the construction of 'Saynt Margretys Hope' - 'a haven or refuge of Princess Margaret', thus forming a positive link with its South Australian counterpart.

20 January 1855, page 4d says, "William Elder, late of Australia, has just purchased... the beautiful small estate of Saint Margarets situated between Aberdour and Inverkeithing."

- Among the good work accomplished by our colonists it has often been found that those which have almost been done "by stealth" - which have begun without ostentation and carried forward with little display and no trumpet blowing - have proved in no way behind others in usefulness... Another work of importance ... is now added to the list - The foundation stone of the Convalescent Hospital at St Margaret, near the Semaphore, having been laid at noon on Monday, September 14th by Mrs Musgrave...

Nomenclature
The highest peak in the Wilpena Pound was first recorded on a map drawn by the surveyor, Frederick Sinnett, in 1851 and therefore he must be credited with naming it.

- At the summit of St Mary's Peak in the Flinders Ranges, 3,900 feet up, is a sealed bottle containing two visitors' books. Those who sign their names at this altitude are usually convinced that Saint Mary's Peak is the highest mountain in the State... but claim to that honour is often made for Mt Woodroffe in the Musgrave Ranges further north...
