2 May be Two-heads

2 = there aren't any - they were all wiped out when the Europeans arrived.

Tasmaniacs?!!

I think Lillibet was the nickname the Queen had from early childhood (Princess Margaret couldn't pronounce Elizabeth) therefore pre-Philip. Something niggles in the back of my mind that he calls her Betty (Betty Windsor)!

just come in from pub but i'm sure its something to do with apples!

To give a more serious answer than my original (true, though),

http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_561539561/Taswegian.html

indicates that Taswegian is in use.

Tasmanians----- nick name Two-heads, maybe different to the one you require though

I see yogibear has been at the cider again - got to the core of the problem and is now giving us all the pip!!

I have to admit I thought the first mention of Two-heads was in answer to the question about the Queen. Worse still, I thought it was a good answer!!!!
