We are 'lucky' enough to get Neighbours and Home and away here, so we kind of get used to some of these great names. I used to love 'Flying doctors', a series overloaded with aboriginal place names. Everything about Oz is so much more colourful than the UK...even Rex Hunt could teach us a thing or two. ''Thank your mother for the rabbits''!! |
