Welcome to Woolloomooloo
Woolloomooloo is a harbourside inner-city, eastern suburb of Sydney and probably has the best, most Australian name of all of the suburbs in the Sydney-area. Not only is the name awesome, but whoever created the signs that welcome travelers (native and foreign) into the suburb is a creative genius. If you must know, the name derives from Aboriginal origins, and according to Wikipedia, there are two Indigenous terms/sayings that it is argued Woolloomooloo stems from:
1) Wallamullah - meaning place of plenty
or
2) Wallabahmullah - meaning young black kangaroo
Take your pick.
