Quizmonster - I see that you put a ? Was it because of the spelling?

there appears to be two spellings that google picks up?

Wooloomooloo (which fits as an answer for the clue,

BUT

Wikepedia (no guarantee of accuracy) and several other sites including these Australian sites (which might expect to be accurate)

Hi all ,
Doing same quiz. Just to throw the cat among the pidgeons here is an answer I got from another site

Wolloomooloo is the alternate spelling.

The current spelling of Woolloomooloo is derived from the name of the first homestead in area, Wolloomooloo House, built by the first landowner John Palmer.

That did'nt help much. However I have decided to go with
Quizmonster as there is always a chance of Quiz Master error. Rgds Al

PS Pyjamagame if that's the only one you are stuck on I might as well give up now lol

Hi Al ... Did you sell me this stinker or do I blame someone else ??????????????? xx

[Quizmonster]

Actually, Panda, I just thought that was the way it was spelt! Given that it fitted the definition in the question exactly, I queried it no further. The question mark merely indicated that I felt - though it fitted the bill - it might not be the answer required. For example, had it been for a crossword-type quiz situation, it might not have gelled with crossing letters.

Hi earthakitten, suppose you can blame me as I put it on to AB. Keeps you out of mischief though ( thats if you want ).

Do I assume you dont want details of the Xmas quiz then??
