One positive thing about the modern US and Canada is at least a lot of native names have been kept or are used for names of states, provinces, towns and regions

One positive thing about the modern US and Canada is at least a lot of native names have been kept or are used for names of states, provinces, towns and regions. In Australia there seems to be far less of this.
- sanswork 9y agoIs it possible in Australia you're just not recognising the aboriginal words because pretty much everywhere I've lived in Australia has been full of areas named using aboriginal words. Sydney eastern suburbs have places like Bondi, Coogee, Maroubra, Woollahra, Woolloomooloo.
