    K
    Place Names

    Killalpaninna, Lake

    Nomenclature

    Most of the names on the Birdsville track are part of a big legend up to Cannuwaukaninna. They deal with the search by a Moora (or tribal god) for two dogs that got away from him at Beltana. He followed them and got on to their tracks at Dulkaninna, then on to Tidnacoordaninna, where he got bogged in the mud of the waterhole (tidna, 'foot'; unda or coordna, 'sticky mud'); the concluding word should be ana, the local word for water.

    The Moora then went on to Cannuwaukaninna, where he complained that his legs were too tired, and that is the meaning of Cannuwaukaninna; then on to Ethaduna which means 'turn back'. He was told here that the dogs had doubled back south-east, so he followed on and found them at Kiltallie-Oola (two dogs) - but this is off the Birdsville track. Going north from Ethaduna we come to Kopperamanna (properly Koppara Murra - koppara, "root'' murra, "hand''). This was a great trading centre and all tracks led to it (as all the fingers come together in the root of the hand, so all tracks lead to Kopparamurra.) Killalpaninna was left away to the west; this got its name from an intrigue that the sun Moora had with a lady, and we must avoid scandal.

    Kings Town

    Nomenclature

    A subdivision of section 902, Hundred of Yatala by Joseph Mellor (1808-1880) in 1855 and he left no reason for so naming it; now included in Seaton. He suggested that it possessed 'every facet for the successful operation of a market gardener and fresh water at 12 feet from the surface'. He created 13 allotments ranging from three to ten acres.

    Lots 1 to 6, containing in excess of 60 acres, were acquired by the government in 1917 and, following the fiasco surrounding the soldier settlement scheme, it remained undeveloped, until it was purchased by the Grange Golf Club. Thus, the majority of the former village is, today, part of East Course, while the remaining land was acquired by ABC Developments Ltd for subdivisional purposes in the 1970s.
