I have missed driving past these creek name signs & once we are back in a vehicle i’m reminded of how fascinating they are. Someone even put some stop lights by the Que River so we could queue!
But how sophisticated are the Tasmanians? Not for them simply naming all waterways creeks, no sir. No sooner had we started to drive & we see Jacks Stream, One Tree Brook, Far Far Flow & Bothersome Beck.
Then, joy upon joy, Lonesome Rivulet, wow! A rivulet, what joy the English language is, so rich & varied. Apparently the average person at 16 (outside Australia) has a growing vocabulary of some 40,000 words. They then spend the next few years reducing this to about 20,000, or less LOL. If they emigrate to Australia they ditch those 20,000 words & learn the 34 words that they use for the rest of their lives. LOVL.
Btw i hate these text type abbreviations & use them merely as comedic props. SWB. Sighs with boredom & i will now refrain from using them further, OJUJ.
Love & LTH’s
