How to pronounce Australian Places

What did you think?

Wagga Wagga looks straightforward on a cue card. Carisa Hendrix's first attempt quickly establishes that this is not going to be a straightforward quiz.

In "How to pronounce Australian Places", the performer behind Lucy Darling works through a geographical tongue-twister course, turning Coonabarabran into "Coona Barbara Ann" and celebrating a successful second attempt at Woolloomooloo with a high five. The mock immigration requirement is four correct answers. "Words mean things, okay?" Hendrix protests along the way.

The companion upload, "Pronouncing Australian Places", supplies the reason for the exercise: ahead of Australia and New Zealand dates, musical companion and local guide Tom Cardy wants Carisa prepared. Australian viewers have made the comments an unofficial second marking session, debating the guidance on Geelong, Mudgeeraba and Gawler. Others are busy recognizing Lucy Darling outside the familiar crowd-work setting.

The quiz is the most watched of the week's seven uploads, approaching a million views. "Lucy and Carisa have different ways of dealing with things" also drew a substantial audience, while the newer "Saving this one for later #Shorts" currently carries the most daily momentum. "Hands on experience #shorts" remains another active draw.

Across the channel, daily views are a little above their usual level, and the week added about 20,000 subscribers. Gabi Jones drew a similar weekly viewing audience among nearby-sized comedy channels; Colby Martel and Sophia & Noelle had particularly busy weeks. Here, the distinctive conversation is about whether the Australian guide needs a pronunciation refresher too.

Being from Geelong, it'd be easier if it was with the anglicised indigenous word for the area Djillong
