Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

Names matter. Placenames matter too when turning space into place through naming. Naming hierarchies often value one set of toponyms over another. Priorities, cultural values and different ethnic backgrounds may favour incompatible sets of names. The placenaming and community consultation which took place during the rabbit eradication program and the proclamation of Phillip Island as a part of the Norfolk Island National Park during the late 1980s starkly depicts how several toponymic ideas have been at odds with each other and how their coming together or 'clash' has resulted in different placename maps.
