Indigenous and Minority Placenames

[Phil Cash Cash]

Indigenous and Minority Placenames
*Australian and International Perspectives*

Edited by Ian D. Clark, Luise Hercus and Laura Kostanski

Published August 2014

This book showcases current research into Indigenous and minority
placenames in Australia and internationally. Many of the chapters in this
volume originated as papers at a Trends in Toponymy conference hosted by
the University of Ballarat in 2007 that featured Australian and
international speakers. The chapters in this volume provide insight into
the quality of toponymic research that is being undertaken in Australia and
in countries such as Canada, Finland, South Africa, New Zealand, and
Norway. The research presented here draws on the disciplines of
linguistics, geography, history, and anthropology. The book includes
meticulous studies of placenames in central NSW and the Upper Hunter
region; Gundungurra cave names; western Arnhem Land; Northern Cape York
Peninsula and Mount Wheeler in Queensland; saltwater placenames around Mer
in the Torres Strait; and the Kaurna in South Australia.
