Australian Placenames of
Indigenous Origin
Canberra, 2005
The Australian National Placenames Survey hosted a day conference on this theme on Saturday 1 October at the offices of Geoscience Australia. <http://www.ga.gov.au>
It followed the same pattern as similar day conferences held in Canberra in 1999, Adelaide 2000 and Darwin 2001, bringing together researchers with interests in Australian languages and cultures with members of the Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia, the peak body for state/territory nomenclature authorities. Versions of some papers presented at this conference will be published, along with others, in a volume Aboriginal Placenames Old and New to be edited by Luise Hercus and Harold Koch for publication in 2006.
