1874 S. Austral. Reg. (Adelaide) 23 Nov. 6/6 What we want is to change the name of the colony... We may borrow a name from that by which this part of Australia used to be known..or a name which..would give a hint of our now central position. I mean something like ‘Centralia’, ‘Centralinia’, or ‘Centria’.

1880 S. Austral. Chron. & Mail 18 Dec. 17/2 You have suggested Adelaide as the new name [for South Australia]... Alexandra and Alberta have too modern a sound; Centralia (et hoc genus omne) does not sound English.

1888 Newcastle (New S. Wales) Morning Herald 22 Feb. 4/7 Centralia is a suggested name for Sydney in the present time of alterations in the nomenclature of the colony.

1894 Western Champion (Barcaldine, Austral.) 20 Mar. The delegates will..have the pleasure of meeting the youth and beauty of the capital of Centralia [i.e. Rockhampton, Queensland] at a ball in the evening.

1896 J. S. Laurie Story of Australasia xxxiii. 299 The name ‘South’ Australia, embracing as it does both the central and the northern territory, is anomalous... For telegraphic, postal, and general purposes one word is desirable for a name—e.g. why not Centralia; for West Australia, Westralia; for New South Wales, Eastralia?

2. (A name for) the central area of Australia, esp. the region around Alice Springs. Cf. centre n.¹ 19.
