Course and features

Part of the Onkaparinga River catchment area that drains the western slopes of the Mount Lofty Ranges,[2] the creek rises in the foothills in the southern Adelaide suburbs around Chandlers Hill through to Trott Park, South Australia and reaches its confluence with the Field River near the Southern Expressway. Now no more than a narrow suburban watercourse, Panalatinga Creek's earliest European recorded use was as the source of water for John Reynell's early vineyards around his Chateau Reynella homestead in 1849.[3]

Etymology

The name of the creek is derived from the Kaurna language word of Pandlotinga, and is sometimes mispronounced as Panatalinga.

gollark: *Our* universe has cold uncaring physics, which life, particularly intelligent life, can exploit like everything else if it researches them enough.
gollark: Thus, my probably horribly flawed way to categorize it is that magic is where the universe/setting is weirdly interested in sentient beings/life/humans/etc, and generally more comprehensible to them.
gollark: I was thinking about this a lot a while ago, and determined that magic wasn't really an aesthetic since there are a few stories which have basically everything be "magic" which does identical things to technology.
gollark: There isn't *that* much difference between "magic" and "weird physics".
gollark: I don't actually know what you could do with this *except* apioformize some cryptography.
