G'day Casey!
Geelong is a funny word
it is lol I had to google it to make sure it was a real place
In Ireland gee is slang for a certain body part
Lots of Australian place names based on the local indigenous languages, not the actual aboriginal place names but things they hears them say when doing the colonial conquest, like there is a lake that loosely translates to "Fuck off"
The city of Melbourne was briefly called Batmania, after John Batman
The shin?
But Batman (this guy, not the comic character) was a scumbag slave owner, so we're getting rid of most of the honours he bestowed upon himself back in the day
Yes good guess
Batmania is cool though
I think Geelong is the local language for seagull or something, from memory haha
geebag
heard that word many times
The 1956 Batmania Olympics would have been pretty cool
