Gentlemen; <br /> <br />May I add a bit here and agree with just about everyone. I live in a very swish place called Kawana Island; i paid a lot of money to live on a place called an island as well as being one . But you wont find any official list referring to Kawana anything (island, waters, forest etc as are many local places called) it is still officially listed as Parrearra an aborigonal name (i'm not sure which tribe, they all speak different dialects and there are thousands of them). I'm not sure what it means but I bet its something like "meeting of the waters" or "place of many fish" <br /> <br />Hey Gary you know that bit about Wagga, I lived there for two years back in the sixties and had no idea the name had anything to do with crows, I thought it meant big water referring to the Murrumbidgee River. I also thought crows were not idigenous to Australia and our crows are only English Crows that have had their brains kicked in. <br /> <br />Here is another and completely different thought, I also understaood that Wales is not officialy recognised as a country in its own right, more a principality ruled by the Prince of Wales and this is why the cross of St David is not on the Union Jack. <br /> <br />Think about it. guys <br /> <br /> <br />Ian <br />
