It used to be called "New Holland" (and Vandimans land for tasmania).
Sadly, I feel most of name change is simply virtue signaling, but not all. Perth itself likely has multiple names due to its size, although I guess you need to settle one one. There are factors of multiple tribes, multiple timelines, appeasing one group likely pisses off another, but thats a different problem.
- marcus_holmes 2y agoAgree on the virtue signalling, but whatever works shrug. It makes no sense that it's called Perth, because that's already a place on the other side of the planet. They didn't even bother with "New Perth". And yeah, I suspect that Boorloo is one choice of many. But I think we let the Elders work that one out.
