| History/Origin | According to Theadgill ( South Australian Land Exploration 1856 to 1880 - Page 56 Footnote 39), Stuart originally named Owen Springs "Ewart's Springs" as Stuart in his original journal wrote "This water I named Ewart's Springs after Ewart for his care and attention to our provisions and the things connected with them." (Journal is held by Royal Geographical Society of SA). Joseph A Ewart, following John McDouall Stuart Expedition was a member of the Overland Telegraph Line construction teams and an axeman with one of Goyder's 1869 survey parties in the Darwin area. |
