RIPPER TASSIE PLACE NAMES
Volume One
This is a tongue-in-cheek look at some of the odd, funny and bizarre
place name in and around Tasmania. Wayne Smith shows the origins and meanings of
some weird, wonderful and wacky places
to be found on this island.
Wayne is a committee member of the Bellerive Historical Society and an authoritative
figure on place names appearing regularly for the last five years on the ABC Radio Nomenclature
Talk Back program.
