RE: "At this point a word on Goonoo Goonoo. Aside from it being a creek, it's also a suburb of Tamworth. What I find curious about it is that it's pronounced "Gunny Gunoo" not Goo-noo Goo-noo."

Haha! I'd like to visit Australia just to take in all the crazy names.

RE: "Boorowa".... seriously?

RE: "Wyangala Dam" ... why not? Every time I read your reports and come across such names, I always "hear" my Australian brother-in-law's voice pronouncing them.

RE: "Kiandra...Cabramurra...Tumut...Corryong...Walwa..." It's as if the director of Star Wars visited Australia before making the movies and used the funky names as inspiration for names of places in the series.

RE: "Mitta Mitta" so...I think I understand now. If Goonoo Goonoo is actually pronouned "Gunny Gunoo", then please tell me that Mitta Mitta is actually pronounced "Mighty Mutta". Am I close?

Awesome ride report. Very enjoyable.
