Why did William Light choose the name Adelaide?

He didn't.

Adelaide, capital of South Australia, was named after Queen Adelaide, a German princess. She was the wife of William IV, the English king who reigned from 1830 until he died in 1837.

Adelaide's full name was Adelheid Amalie Luise Theresa Carolin of Saxe-Meiningen. After she married the heir to the British throne in July 1818, she changed the spelling of her name, anglicising it from Adelheid to Adelaide.

The name for the new city was chosen by the English authorities, but selecting the site, surveying the Adelaide Plains and planning the city was done by Colonel William Light.

Much of South Australia's goods were transported via the Murray River in 1901. Paddlesteamers were common up and down the Murray River, which provided an easy route from Victoria (and New South Wales) to the sea port at Victor Harbor.

Where in Australia can you but 'princess house' merchandise?

My daughters were party plan sales consultants for Princess House a few years ago when the company went bust here. Later on while working in a gift store one of our sales agents came in with a bunch of Princess House stuff among the things he was selling (when I questioned him about it he said it was some stuff that his company had purchased along the way - he had not even heard of Princess House.) I now search eBay for pieces that need replacing and have attempted to contact their American base but to no avail as yet. Jenny Atkins

Why did South Australia become a separate colony?

Always concerned about the French presence in the south Pacific, Britain sought to colonise numerous points in Australia. For some time, they wished to establish a settlement on Australia's southern coast, as the earlier attempt at Port Phillip had failed.

Explorer Matthew Flinders was the first European to look at the possibilities for settlement on South Australia's coast, in 1802. When Charles Sturt discovered and charted the Murray River to the southern coast in 1829-30, this captured the attention of Lord Wakefield in England, who then promoted South Australia as being the ideal place for a new settlement proposed by Britain.

The South Australian Colonisation Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1834, and the first settlers arrived in 1836. South Australia is the only state in Australia not to have been founded by convicts. Governor John Hindmarsh arrived in the new colony on the HMS Buffalo, accompanied only by free settlers. South Australia was officially proclaimed on 19 February 1836 in England. The Old Gum Tree at Glenelg North, South Australia, was where the Proclamation was read by Governor Hindmarsh on 28 December 1836.

Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia, and the city was designed by Colonel William Light, the first Surveyor-General of South Australia, who arrived in South Australia in 1836 to decide on a suitable site for the new settlement. He completed his survey in March 1837.
