I don’t understand who people they’re dunking on when they mock distinctive indigenous words.
Ballaarat means meeting place, Djilang / Geelong means tongue of land as in the edge of the bay, Wirribi / Werribee means spine, as in the river being the spine of the land. Garidwerd means mountain range created by Bunjil. Wahroonga means home.
All these words have true meanings that connect to the land.
