Interesting Names

I'm currently hiking (virtually) along the New South Wales coast in Australia.



















The ocean scenes and arial views are beautiful...


When I switch to a traditional map view, I'm surprised by the mix of English and aboriginal names, like Wahroonga and Wallumattagal...


















It takes a little getting used to! But then, we have that in Canada, too: names like Mississippi (big river) and Kanata (village or settlement)... (at times spelled "Canada"!)
