Is that right? I've almost universally heard it pronounced kar-JELLY-ko,
but never understood why it was a k sound rather than the g.
A few more obtuse ones I thought of:
Wauchope WAR-hope
Merriwa MERRY-war
Mooroolbark MORE-el-bark
Lalor Law-ler or Lay-lor take your pick
Batman Bat-m'n not like the caped crusader
Kyneton Kine-ton
Tallangatta Tal-LANG-gat-TA (Contrast WANG-gar-RATTA and
PARRA-MATTA)
Wallerawang Wal-LERRA-wang
Rylstone Rile-stone
Chris Brownbill.
