BUDGE [as in I can't budge that rock] - "E" [as in eeeeeeeee] - WOY [rhyming
with boy]

An aboriginal word, the meaning of which eludes me for the moment. Later

A huge number of places / street names come from the original aboriginal naming
of locations. Incredibly most seem to start with "B".

Where I lived in the 60's and 70's nearly every street started with "B". Here's
a few.

Biji
Bungarrabee
Bungara
Binalong


72/73's
