The name was a mis-transcription of rikkara, the word for ‘south’ in the Ngarrindjeri language of the Lower Murray Lakes. Their source was probably Taplin’s Folklore of the South Australian Aborigines (1879).enNgarrindjeri languageWillunga railwayRikkaraAboriginal place-namesSouth Australia geographyKaurna Warra Pintyandi'Pikkara' (McLaren Vale)Place Name Summary (PNS) 4.3.1/06Text
