Australian place names and the origins of the names. There are many ...This book gives information on the place names of South Australia and the origins of the names.

This is a hard cover book of 208 pages. The cover is dark red with the names of the book and the authors on the spine. The dust cover has a colour photograph of a South Australian panorama on the front and a plain green back cover.
