Abstract
NSW Pidgin is documented from fragmentary source material, and evidence is sparse for its probable nineteenth century spread through Queensland to northern Australia. I adduce another source of data bearing on NSW Pidgin's formation and spread, that found in placenames: ones that are neither purely of indigenous origin, nor entirely imposed by the incoming colonists and settlers.
