Hundred Of Wiltunga
The Hundred of Wiltunga is a cadastral unit of hundred located in the Mid North of South Australia west of the Barunga Range. It is one of the 16 hundreds of the County of Daly and was proclaimed by Governor Anthony Musgrave on the last day of 1874. The hundred name is officially believed to derive from an indigenous term ''wiltonga'', meaning 'place of the eagles'. The township of Bute lies near the southern border of the hundred and locality bounds cover most of the hundred. The eastern flank of Alford locality and southern flank of Wokurna locality are also within the hundred Local government The District Council of Ninnes was established in 1885 at Ninnes, and, in 1888, it annexed the Hundred of Wiltunga by promulgation of the District Councils Act 1887, bringing the hundred under local administration for the first time.

Barunga Range
The Barunga Range is a range of hills in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges starting near Clements Gap and Merriton in South Australia's Mid North. At the range's southern end it merges with Hummock Range at Barunga Gap, approximately south west of Snowtown. The name 'Barunga' derives from an indigenous term meaning "gap in the range". The Barunga and Hummock ranges are host to the Clements Gap and Snowtown wind farms. Etymology According to the Australian Biospecimen Network Association, ''Barunga'' is an indigenous term meaning "gap in the range", but South Australian historian Geoffrey Manning instead states it means "place for meat". The term was also used to name Barunga Hill, north west of Snowtown, and Barunga Creek, which flows off from Barunga Range to the south west of Snowtown. The term was also used in turn to name the cadastral Hundred of Barunga The Hundred of Barunga is a cadastral unit of hundred located in the Mid North of South Australia on the approxim ...

District Councils Act 1887
The District Councils Act 1887 was an act of the Parliament of South Australia. It received assent on 9 December 1887, and its provisions came into effect when proclaimed by Governor William C. F. Robinson on 5 January 1888. The legislation introduced local government to many areas of South Australia in which it had not previously existed, especially in the north and west of the state, and involved substantial change to many existing municipalities. In total, it involved the creation of 20 new councils, the expansion of 35 existing councils into lands previously without local government, and the amalgamation of 17 pre-existing councils into eight larger councils. The remaining existing councils were left unchanged, as were individual incorporated towns. The legislation fixed both a minimum number of five councillors and a maximum of ten councillors for District Councils across the state. The Governor appointed councillors for all of the new councils, to hold office for six months ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ninnes, South Australia
Ninnes is a locality at the northeastern corner of Yorke Peninsula and western side of the Mid North of South Australia. It lies where the Upper Yorke Road from Kulpara to Bute is crossed by the road from Paskeville to Lochiel. The dominant industry is broadacre grain and sheep farming. History The area of Ninnes Plain was settled by the early 1860s and the Hundred of Ninnes was proclaimed in 1874. In 1976 a bushfire started in the Hummock Range and tore westwards through Ninnes Plain towards Green Plain, near the present-day township of Paskeville. According to local reportage at the time the fire was so fierce that the townships of Wallaroo and Kadina, more than distant, were illuminated at night by the fire's glow. The District Council of Ninnes was established in 1885 and adopted a former accommodation house as a council chamber. The council chamber would also be used as a school until a separate building was constructed six years later. Ninnes Post Office opened on ...

Hundred Of Wiltunga, 1905 (23157087433)
100 or one hundred ( Roman numeral: C) is the natural number following 99 and preceding 101. In medieval contexts, it may be described as the short hundred or five score in order to differentiate the English and Germanic use of "hundred" to describe the long hundred of six score or 120. In mathematics 100 is the square of 10 (in scientific notation it is written as 102). The standard SI prefix for a hundred is "hecto-". 100 is the basis of percentages (''per cent'' meaning "per hundred" in Latin), with 100% being a full amount. 100 is a Harshad number in decimal, and also in base-four, a base in-which it is also a self-descriptive number. 100 is the sum of the first nine prime numbers, from 2 through 23. It is also divisible by the number of primes below it, 25. 100 cannot be expressed as the difference between any integer and the total of coprimes below it, making it a noncototient. 100 has a reduced totient of 20, and an Euler totient of 40.

Alford, South Australia
Alford is a settlement in South Australia. Alford is in the Hundred of Tickera, northern Yorke Peninsula, about midway between the towns of Kadina and Port Broughton. The natural landform is undulating fertile plains, which often feature limestone and dunes. Founded on the agricultural industry, which surrounds the township, most of the original mallee scrub vegetation has been cleared for highly productive broad-acre wheat and barley farming, plus grazing and mixed farming.

Government Of South Australia
The Government of South Australia, also referred to as the South Australian Government, SA Government or more formally, His Majesty’s Government, is the Australian state democratic administrative authority of South Australia. It is modelled on the Westminster system of government, which is governed by an elected parliament.

Since the federation of Australia in 1901, South Australia has been a state of the Commonwealth of Australia, which is a constitutional monarchy, and the Constitution of Australia regulates the state of South A ...
