G'day B-aussersYes a lovely ring to it: a bit like Badger for Wombats in Tassie & Vic. and Opossum for the Brush-tailed Possum in NZ,. I wonder if we could accommodate some aboriginal names to replace other foreign mismatches such as: Cuckoo-shrike & Shrike-thrush. After all we did manage to shake off miss-matches such as warblers - for gerygones, tailor bird for cisticola, & fairy-wren for wren. mmn - Is that last one an improvement or would an aboriginal word be more Australian?
