Re: Pronunciation of Station Names

Another good one which sorts the locals from the tourists is my nearest
station Unanderra. I have heard it pronounced UN-anderra and also
UN-yanderra rather than the correct U-nanderra. There is also Woonona which
is pronounced Woo-noo-nar as if the second o is also double rather than
Woo-no-nar as you might think from the spelling.
