no south woolooware?

edit

Seems the author(s) neglected to mention anything of the south side of Woolooware and all photos of places/shops/establishments in the article are from the north side - shameless. Also, pretty sure that Woolooware means 'muddy flat'... not track. Obviously there was no 'road' there during aboriginal times, as seems to be poorly indicated. The author also has Woolooware Road's start and end points incorrect (stop the presses! rofl)

Origin of name

edit

Since Woolooware Bay shows on maps of Sydney from way before 1900, it seems highly unlikely that the name was given to the suburb as a result of a muddy road that hadn't even been constructed yet. I'll try and seek some evidence that the origin of the name was the bay, but meanwhile I've tagged the fact that it was named after the road as needing citation. --Inas66 (talk) 23:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Can't find anything, no citation, I'm going to remove this info, which doesn't really make sense. --Inas66 (talk) 04:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
