The trip home 1
31 November 2006 8:20am
Australians really take pride in giving things amusing names. We've just passed over Gobbagombalin Bridge, Wagga Wagga.
I mean, really.
Sure, I'm positive there's some spiritual connection/important person/aboriginal word reason for these names, but they never stop amusing me.
A selection of the places we'll travel through today:
* Gidginbung
* Daroobalgie
* Eumungerie
* Gilgandra
* Edgeroi
* Coonabarabran
Unfortunately we'll just miss Tooraweenah and Cookamidgera.
I love Australia!
9:30am - we are now entering the Shire of Bland.
Yahoo.
1:00pm - Dead Bird Lead Creek (near Parkes Dish).
Speaking of Parkes Dish (which Liz has been unaccountably excited about all trip - and I mean since December...) we stopped at the cafe there, and not only did they have Byron Bay Organic Coffee and Byron Bay Cookie Co. cookies, but they were playing Kate Miller-Heidke on the stereo. I think that may have been the exact moment I realised we're really going home.
5pm - can you believe someone called a town Wee Waa?
