Hundred Of Julia Creek
The Hundred of Julia Creek is a cadastral unit of hundred located in the Mid North of South Australia. It was named by Governor Henry Young in 1851 after a local tributary of the Light River, the watercourse having been earlier named for Julia Gawler, daughter of the former governor George Gawler. Within the hundred are the localities of Ngapala (southern part including township), Julia, Hampden, Eudunda (minor part excluding township), Buchanan and Hansborough (eastern part including township but excluding railway station). Local government The hundred was first governed by the District Council of Julia from 1874 to 1932. As part of the statewide local government consolidations of the early 1930s, the council was amalgamated with the easterly neighbouring District Council of Neales to form the District Council of Eudunda, with the Hundred of Julia Creek area becoming the Julia ward. In 1997 the seat of local government shifted to Burra when the Regional Council of Goyder ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was established in August 2000, when boundaries were formalised for the "long established local name". It was named for William Hampden Dutton, brother of Frederick Dutton, who established Anlaby Station. The area was first settled by Europeans as part of the much larger Anlaby Station, and was first subdivided into smaller farms in 1906.

Lands Administrative Divisions Of South Australia
The lands administrative divisions of South Australia are the cadastral (i.e., comprehensively surveyed and mapped) units of counties and hundreds in South Australia. They are located only in the south-eastern part of the state, and do not cover the whole state. 49 counties have been proclaimed across the southern and southeastern areas of the state historically considered to be arable and thus in need of a cadastre. Within that area, a total of 540 hundreds have been proclaimed, although five were annulled in 1870, and, in some cases, the names reused elsewhere. All South Australian hundreds have unique names, making it unnecessary, when referring to a hundred, to also name its county (as is done in some land administration systems such as that of New South Wales). With the exception of the historic Hundred of Murray (1853–1870), which occupied parts of five counties, all hundreds have been defined as a subset of a single county. The hundreds of South Australia formed the b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burra, South Australia
Burra is a pastoral centre and historic tourist town in the mid-north of South Australia. It lies east of the Clare Valley in the Bald Hills range, part of the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, and on Burra Creek. The town began as a single company mining township that, by 1851, was a set of townships (company, private and government-owned) collectively known as "The Burra". The Burra mines supplied 89% of South Australia's and 5% of the world's copper for 15 years, and the settlement has been credited (along with the mines at Kapunda) with saving the economy of the struggling new colony of South Australia. The Burra Burra Copper Mine was established in 1848 mining the copper deposit discovered in 1845. Miners and townspeople migrated to Burra primarily from Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Germany. The mine first closed in 1877, briefly opened again early in the 20th century and for a last time from 1970 to 1981. When the mine was exhausted and closed the population shrank dramatically ...

District Council Of Neales
The District Council of Neales was a local government area in South Australia from 1878 to 1932. The main town and council seat was Eudunda. The council was proclaimed on 15 August 1878, comprising the cadastral Hundred of Neales. The first meeting was held at the Eudunda Hotel on 29 August. It was initially divided into four wards: Dutton, Eudunda, North and South. Ratepayers in the Hundred of Brownlow in the District Council of Morgan had advocated to be included in the Neales council from the early 1890s, and this was successful on 30 July 1904, when it was severed from Morgan and attached to the District Council of Neales as its new fifth ward. The early business of the council has been described as an "almost entire preoccupation with clearing land". It initially rented the "White Iron House", owned by J. Hannon, for use as a council office, and from 1886 rented a room in the Eudunda Hotel. In 1916, the council purchased the Century Hall at Eudunda from the Eudunda Unterhaltu ...

District Council Of Julia
The District Council of Julia was a local government area in South Australia from 1874 to 1932. The council seat was located at Hampden. The council was proclaimed on 3 September 1874, comprising the cadastral Hundred of Julia Creek. There had been proposals that year to include Julia Creek in a new council for the Hundred of Neales, but these met with opposition in Julia Creek, and the separate District Council of Neales would not be created until 1878. The first council chamber was a rented house. It lacked permanent offices for many years, and in 1919 it was reported that they had been required to move offices four times in ten years. A permanent office was subsequently built at Hampden in 1920. In 1923, it had a total area of 86 square miles, with a total population of 573, mostly on the land. It had 11 miles of main roads and 150 miles of district roads under its jurisdiction. The main railway siding was at Hampden, while there were schools at Hansborough, Julia and Ngapal ...

Buchanan, South Australia
Buchanan is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder. It was established in August 2000, when boundaries were formalised for the "long established local name". The area was reportedly named after Alexander Buchanan, the first manager of Anlaby Station; however, there remains some uncertainty around its origin. Buchanan School opened in 1926 and closed in 1946. The school building was sold to the Buchanan Agricultural Bureau in 1965 and used as the Buchanan Hall, but was sold in 1979 due to the costs involved. Buchanan Cricket Club was formed in 1945 and played in the County Eyre Association, playing games at Anlaby Station and later at Eudunda Oval. It won premierships in 1954–1955 and 1964–65. The club was discontinued in 1969. The former unbounded locality of Kooninderie sits on the boundary between Buchanan and adjacent Hansborough.

Eudunda, South Australia
Eudunda is a rural town in South Australia, roughly 103 kilometres northeast of Adelaide, established in 1870 after settlers began moving into the area in the 1860s. As of the 2006 census, Eudunda had a population of 640. Eudunda is in the Regional Council of Goyder local government area, the South Australian House of Assembly electoral district of Stuart and the Australian House of Representatives Division of Grey. Etymology and Nomenclature The town name of Eudunda originates from the name of the spring to the west of the town, which local Aboriginal people called ''judandakawi.'' According to Dr. Phillip Clarke of the South Australian Museum, ''judandakawi'' means 'sheltered water.' Alternative translations appear as ''Eudundacowi, Eudandakawi,'' or ''Eudundacowie.'' The spring still flows to this day. Some local theories suggest that German pronunciation of the letter ''j'' led to the current pronunciation. The earliest-known written mention of the name 'Eudunda' comes fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Regional Council Of Goyder
The Regional Council of Goyder is a local government area located in the Mid North region of South Australia. The council area is reliant on agriculture as a mainstay of its economy, with manufacturing and tourism also becoming prominent. The council seat lies at Burra, with a branch office situated at Eudunda.
