Officer Creek : ウィキペディア英語版
Officer Creek
Officer Creek is an ephemeral watercourse which runs from the Musgrave Ranges in the north-west of South Australia through the Aboriginal community of Kaltjiti in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. With the Ammaroodinna and Currie Creeks, it forms part of the Warburton River Basin.
Officer Creek is usually a dry sandy bed and only flows at times of very high rainfall.
==History==
In September 1873 during his second trip into the South Australian interior, Ernest Giles and another party member, William Tietkens, encountered 200 male Aborigines. The Europeans fired shots, allegedly in retaliation for the throwing of spears. The Europeans escaped unharmed - there is no mention of Aboriginal casualties. Giles later acknowledged that Aboriginal aggression was usually due to white trespass on black land. Giles named the river where this occurred "The Officer", by which it was known until the 1930s when it was renamed Officer Creek.〔(South Australian Department of Primary Industry and Resources )〕 Officer Creek took its name from the surname of one of the donors towards Giles' expedition that he wished to honour in that way.
