District Council Of Booborowie
The District Council of Booborowie was a local government area in South Australia from 1875 to 1935. It was proclaimed on 6 May 1875, following strong support at a public meeting the previous year. It initially comprised the cadastral Hundred of Ayers (modern Booborowie, North Booborowie and parts of Burra and Leighton). It would later also gain the Hundred of Anne (modern Canowie, Willalo and parts of Hallett) to the north of the existing council, under the ''District Councils Act 1887''. The council initially met in the Booborowie eating house and Cobb and Co coach stopover prior to the construction of the Booborowie Council Chambers, on Main Road, Booborowie, in 1888-1889. The former council chambers survive today and are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. The council was abolished in 1935 following sweeping Local Government Commission recommendations that proposed cutting the number of municipalities in South Australia from 196 to 142.

Cobb And Co
Cobb & Co was the name used by many successful sometimes quite independent Australian coaching businesses. The first was established in 1853 by American Freeman Cobb and his partners. The name Cobb & Co grew to great prominence in the late 19th century, when it was carried by many stagecoaches carrying passengers and mail to various Australian goldfields, and later to many regional and remote areas of the Australian outback. The same name was used in New Zealand and Freeman Cobb used it in South Africa. Although the Queensland branch of the company made an effort to transition to automobiles in the early 20th century, high overhead costs and the growth of alternative transport options for mail, including rail and air, saw the final demise of Cobb & Co. The last Australian Cobb & Co stagecoach ran in Queensland in August 1924. Cobb & Co has become an established part of Australian folklore commemorated in art, literature and on screen. Today the name is used by a number of Austr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Times And Northern Advertiser, Peterborough, South Australia
''The Times and Northern Advertiser'' (subtitled: ''Peterborough, South Australia'') was a weekly newspaper published in Peterborough, South Australia from August 1887 to 1970. History Petersburg was a very small town in 1887 when the railway to Broken Hill was being built, and a decision had to be made whether the ore from the mines should be shipped from Port Augusta, Port Pirie or Port Adelaide. If it were to be Port Pirie, the line would pass through Petersburg. Anxious to improve the status of the town (particularly as against rival Terowie), mayor W. Thredgold approached Robert M. Osborne with a view to establishing a newspaper (Terowie had its ''Enterprise'', founded by James O'Loghlin). The old Anglican church building would have been an ideal premises, but it could not be got ready soon enough, so an old iron shed near the mill crossing was made available. Osborne found a likely assistant in H. P. Colebatch (later Premier of Western Australia, Agent-general and, as Sir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

District Council Of Burra Burra
The District Council of Burra Burra was a local government area in South Australia from 1935 to 1997. It was proclaimed on 21 March 1935, with effect from 1 May 1935, as a result of the amalgamation of the District Council of Burra, District Council of Hanson, the District Council of Mount Bryan and a substantial portion of the abolished District Council of Booborowie. It consolidated most of the Burra area - including the Hundreds of Ayers, Baldina, Hanson, King, Kingston, Kooringa, Mongolata and Rees - under one municipality, with the exception of the Corporate Town of Burra in the Burra township itself, which remained separate. The new council continued to use the offices of the former District Council of Burra, which were in the Burra Institute building.

District Council Of Mount Bryan
The District Council of Mount Bryan was a local government area in South Australia from 1874 to 1935. It was established on 29 October 1874, when it was detached from the District Council of Burra. It gained the Hundred of Mongolata and the Hundred of Rees under the ''District Councils Act 1887''. In 1896, a ratepayers meeting supported dividing the council into two, arguing that the council was financially unviable on the existing boundaries; however, this did not occur. The council chambers were located in Mount Bryan. The council merged with the District Council of Burra, the District Council of Hanson and most of the District Council of Booborowie to form the District Council of Burra Burra on 21 March 1935.

District Council Of Hanson
The District Council of Hanson was a local government area in South Australia from 1878 to 1935. The council was proclaimed on 8 August 1872, comprising the whole of the cadastral Hundred of Hanson. Its foundation was controversial: it had reportedly been supported by 40 farmers representing 13,000 acres and opposed by 48 farmers representing "about the same quantity of land", in addition to two large landholders representing 33,000 acres. The opponents of the council claimed that the proponents were mostly within the government town of Hanson (now Farrell Flat), and that most of the proposed district did not share a common interest with the town. However, those who supported the council were successful when the government decided to "extend the advantages of self-government" and recommended its proclamation. There was further controversy later in the year when the government appointed an opponent as a councillor to replace a supporter who had been disqualified. The council was di ...

District Council Of Terowie
The District Council of Terowie was a local government area in South Australia from 1888 to 1935, centring on the town of Terowie. It was established by the ''District Councils Act 1887'', which took effect from 5 January 1888. The creation of the council followed resident advocacy for the creation of a local government in Terowie in 1887. The council comprised the cadastral Hundreds of Ketchowla, Terowie and Wonna at its creation. The council rented offices in the Terowie Institute building from 1888 to 1890 before purchasing an Anglican church which the congregation had outgrown; the former church was used as council chambers for the remainder of the council's existence. It gained a portion of the Hundred of Whyte in 1899, resulting in an increase from three to four numbered wards. The council's public works included roadworks throughout the district and kerbing, footpaths, stormwater drainage and tree planting in Terowie township, with more limited works in Yarcowie. In 1 ...

District Council Of Hallett
The District Council of Hallett was a local government area in South Australia from 1877 to 1997. The council was proclaimed on 13 September 1877 representing the Hundred of Hallett, establishing a council of eight members divided into four wards (Willogoleech, Cartarpo, Ulooloo and Banbury). The first meeting was held at Mann's Hotel at Hallett on 24 September. It was expanded by the ''District Councils Act 1887'' to include the Hundred of Tomkinson and portions of the Hundred of Hallett excluded in the initial proclamation.

On 21 May 1935, it gained a portion of the Anne and Ayers wards of the abolished District Council of Booborowie, which formed the new Willalo Ward; it also added the Cappeedee Ward at this time.

Booborowie Council Chambers
Booborowie is a locality in South Australia. It is located north of Adelaide. At the 2016 census, the Booborowie district had a population of 218. Booborowie Station In 1843, Dr William James Browne and his brother Dr John Harris Browne took up the Booborowie run. In 1851 they purchased a crown lease of 153 square miles, and in 1853 the brothers purchased 46,978 acres of the lease. The Browne brothers established a merino stud and ran shorthorn cattle. They went on to purchase properties on the Adelaide Plains, at Mount Gambier, the Flinders Ranges, and the Eyre Peninsula, and were instrumental in establishing Katherine in the Northern Territory. This led to a large sheep and cattle drive, under the supervision of Alfred Giles, to leave South Australia in 1878. The northern portion of the station was sold to Henry Dutton and George Melrose in 1897. The remainder of the station was sold in 1910 and 1912 for closer settlement.
