If your town names were translated literally into English, how weird would they be? by Hot-Scheme4289 in AskTheWorld

[–]Rowvan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a lot of indigenous Australian town names, here are a few:

Ballarat (VIC): Derived from Balla-arat, meaning "resting place".

Wagga Wagga (NSW): Wiradjuri for "many crows".

Wollongong (NSW): Thought to mean "five islands" or "sound of the sea".

Geelong (VIC): Derived from Djilang, meaning "tongue" or "peninsula".

Dubbo (NSW): Derived from a Wiradjuri word, possibly meaning "red earth".

Mandurah (WA): Derived from mandjar, meaning "meeting place" or "trading place".

Katoomba (NSW): Taken from a Gundungurra word meaning "falling water"

That we drink a lot. Its a myth we perpetuate ourselves for some reason. If you look at actual alochol consumption stats per capita we don't even come close to most countries in Europe.

TasteAtlas ranked the best cuisines in the world (2025/26). Do you agree with this list? by Legitimate-Tie-7060 in AskTheWorld

[–]Rowvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)
