Geoff Manning

The final illustrated edition of this work was The Place Names Of Our Land: A South Australian Anthology (2009).[2] He greatly admired Labor Prime Minister Ben Chifley, and saw himself as espousing generally left-wing views.[2] After retirement from the bank, Manning devoted himself fully to writing on local history.His works on South Australian placenames contain much information supplemental to, and correcting, the much earlier Nomenclature of South Australia (1908) by Rodney Cockburn (1877–1932) and What's in a Name, a revised edition by his journalist son Stewart Cockburn (1921–2009).[2] Manning died in September 2018,[5] leaving a legacy of invaluable historical work on South Australian history.
