Lost in Translation
Pommy comic, Spike Milligan, once said of his favourite Australian town: "If Woy Woy is Aboriginal for deep water, which word means 'deep' and which word means 'water'". Similarly, Padang Padang means 'many meadows' in Bahasa but I'll be buggered which word means which.
Rich Robson was in no such quandary when the swell lit up Many Meadows on the weekend.//STUART NETTLE
