SAMPLE ENTRY:

In 1917, following anti-German hysteria generated in large measure by such people as Prime Minister Billy Hughes and SA MP, Ponder, the town of Blumberg was to have been renamed to Perroomba, an aboriginal word for the Wattle blossom. In keeping with the patriotic fervour in vogue at that time, and to overcome objections by the public to difficult aboriginal words (3), the name Birdwood was chosen instead in honour the name of General William Birdwood who commanded the ANZACs at Gallipoli and later in France.
