I’m Janice Petersen and you might recognize me from SBS World News. As a journalist, I’ve been lucky enough to travel all over Australia. You could say, ‘I’ve been everywhere man’

I love finding out where the names of places come from and what they mean. Over 60% of place names in Australia come from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, connecting First Nation’s people to the land, waterways, and mountains

In this podcast, we’ll explore some well-known place names by learning how to pronounce the /uː/ [ooo] sound in Amaroo, Toowoomba, and Kangaroo and the /əʊ/ [oh] sound in Tarego, Dorrigo, and Bangalow

Let’s start with some word pairs to see if you can hear the difference between the /uː/ [oo] and /əʊ/ [oh] sounds

• Blue and bloke
• Flu and flow
• Goo and go

You may have noticed that the /uː/ [ooo] in flu is a long sound. You make it with your tongue high at the back of your mouth and your lips rounded like you’re about to kiss someone

Try saying it after me

• blue
• flu
• goo

The /əʊ/ [oh] sound is a combination of two sounds /ə/ [uh] and /ʊ/ [oo]

Because you need to say both sounds, your tongue will lay flat, and your mouth will start in an open and relaxed position and end in a rounded position. Try saying it with me: ohhhh

Let’s try it with the words, you might like to repeat after me

• bloke
• flow
• go

How about we give it a try with the song lyrics

Let’s start with the part of the song with the /uː/ [ooo] sound in Amaroo, Toowoomba and Woolloomooloo. Try repeating after me

I’ve been everywhere man

I’ve been to Moree, Taree, Jerilderie, Amaroo

Toowoomba, Gunnedah, Caringbah, Woolloomooloo

Next is the part of the song that has the /əʊ/ [oh] sound in Tarego, Dorrigo, and Bangalow. You can say it with me if you like

Tarego, Dorrigo

Bangalow, Indooroopilly

Kirribilli, Yeerongpilly

Wollondilly, don’t be silly.

They sounded awesome

This song was originally written by Geoff Mack, an Australian country singer, in 1959. There are many versions of the song so check them out online, find your favourite, and sing along

And the next time you travel somewhere in Australia, see if you can find out if it comes from an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin and what it means
