Rare, miniature c.19th hand coloured engraving of Deadmans Creek.
Its Aboriginal name, Tudera, may hold the key to why this creek is thus named. Tudera means ‘place of the dead’ and is believed to have been the location of a tribal burial ground or a fighting ground. Deadmans Creek is the English translation of the creek’s Aboriginal name. The name has been in use since 1837 and was identified by that name on military maps and in street directories. Because of its connotations, the creek’s Aboriginal name was adopted in 1925 but both names have remained in use.
