Interesting, thanks!

I hope he did well!

Was also interesting to notice how the spelling of various places has
changed, sometimes several times, over the years.

In our area, we have one suburb "Coombabah". My Mum lived in this general
area for over 80 years, & she always referred to it as "Coompabah", & was
adamant that was how it was originally pronounced. I then found an official
map of the area dated 1967, that showed that suburb as Coompabah, but
current maps today show Coombabah.

Which is right?

Thanks

Graeme
