If you love that name, come visit. You'll be endlessly entertained by places with indigenous names. Wagga Wagga, Goonoo Goonoo (pronounced gunna goonu), Mudgeeraba... which I'm just learning it's thought that the name of the town was derived from an Indigenous Australian expression meaning, "place of infant's excrement", "place where someone told lies" or "place of sticky soil".[6][2] Another theory is that the name means "low-lying ground" ... just to name a few 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walla walla bing bang. That’s funny. Before our visit last year at this time, we had to google the pronunciation and practice it for months to get it down. It’s a great name and a great town. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
