    ROFL I often say Cano-win-dra as a joke around here. Gee, the locals go off if you use it there! Can-ow-in-dra is more how they like it.

    Not sure I've heard of it but I'll try "Cas-sill-is" probably wrong?

    New people visiting Wollongong "Wool-on-gong" struggle with suburbs Bulli "Bull-eye", Unanderra "You-nan-derra" and Wonoona "Woo-noon-ah" other suburbs that also get them Thirroul and Towradgi.

    How about "Lucknow" near Orange.
