Abstract
Tarniyandingga (or Tarniyandi) is the Kaurna name of a waterhole site on Pedler’s Creek immediately west of the intersection of Victor Harbor Road and Main Road, McLaren Vale: the first stop on the Kaurna route southward from the Noarlunga ford. It was recorded in 1839 and sometimes applied by settlers to the whole Pedler’s Creek area west of McLaren Vale. The meaning is unknown except for the Kaurna suffix -ngga ‘at’.
