𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘆𝗺𝘆 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 - 𝗟𝘆𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁

Most of the Weipa North streets named by Comalco staff in the mid to late 1960s appear to have been connected with regional place-names. Constructed about 1967, this court probably derives its name from a creek on 𝘉𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘢 𝘋𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘴 station, which flows northwards to join the Wenlock River (formerly Batavia River).

The creek was given the name Lydia by the surveyor John Thomas Embley when he conducted a traverse of the Batavia River and the 𝘉𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘢 𝘋𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘴 cattle station run survey (survey plan C.153.382) or when he surveyed the 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘋𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘴 cattle station (survey plan C.153.381), both in 1885. It is likely that John Embley named the creek after his sister-in-law, Lydia Matilda Jane Embley (née Cox), who married John’s brother Dr Edward Henry Embley in 1883. Edward Embley was a prominent Melbourne anaesthetist and John named Edward River after him.

Image: Grave in the Melbourne General Cemetery, Carlton, of Lydia Embley and John Thomas Embley, who both passed away in 1937. Edward Embley also is buried here. Information about the grave location was provided to the author by Bill Kitson PSM in the 1980s.
