It has only just dawned on me that in its heavy coverage of World Youth Day the Sydney Morning Herald is not referring to the 'new' precinct of Barangaroo by that name but as The Hungry Mile.
Given that the authorities and organisers mostly seem to be using the Aboriginal name that emerged from a public competition I wonder why the SMH is going the other way with the older 'nickname'?
Odd Victor, here The Age is referring to it as Barangaroo but there was an a brief mention and explanation about the Hungry Mile.
ReplyDeleteAndrew - It couldn't be because the naming competition was run by a competitior, the Sunday Telegraph (News Corporation) could it? Ho hum.
