[Australian Cattleman]

There are a lot of names in Australia that originate from Aboriginal dialects,many different tribes are in our country. Some names have been Anglisised to sound a bit better. The meanings have often been lost by doing this.
I have village down the road called Drake,it was named after some government official way back,now its a good place for those wanting to opt out of the workforce and to grow green stuff. The stuff looks like Margold or Stinking Roger plants that they ultimately smoke.

Like a place in New South Wales, Aust. called Coolongolook. Meaning something like a location inland and leftward, from a location on the coast.

I've even heard of people smoking dried Cane Toad skins. Crikey, I'm sure we're going to end up with a proportion of the population as psychotics roam'n around the place with that sort of recreation... :roll:

Australian Cattleman, isn't there a town up near you called Woodenbong? :lol:

 

[Australian Cattleman]

Yes that towns about an hour and a bit north east of me. Bet the name has a different conortation these days than that it had in Aboriginal folklore.
