Why is this state called South Australia, while the entity above us is called the Northern Territory, and that to our left is called Western Australia?
Well, the Northern Territory is obviously Northern, because it’s the Northern Territory and we aren’t the Southern Australia. But still…
I always wondered why Western Australia is always referred to merely as West Australia.
Wasn’t there a movement once to rename Western Australia “Westralia”? Such an ugly word, but so much simpler!
Here for the first time via Suse at Pea Soup.
Maybe we could be ‘Southstralia’ which is surprisingly easy to say.
Nice to meet you, Bec.
