Do Australians hate Aboriginals that much?

We have a lot of aboriginal place names. British named places are more common, but once we ran out we just gave abo names

My town is named after

New York and Los Angeles really sound native.

Half the suburbs on the Gold Coast are Abo names. Most suburbs and towns are Abo.

50/50 between the Britsh and Abo's. Personally speaking I like the abo ones better. They're just so much more original and creative. Here's my top five:

> Woolloomooloo
> Wagga Wagga
> Koolyanobbin
> Wollongong
> Goonoo Goono

Don't believe me- just google it.
