Re: Pronunciation of Station Names

In our last episode <69g1ir$r5d$1@the-fly.zip.com.au> on 13 Jan 1998

>Yeerongpilly             YEE-wrong-ah-PIL-ly

Aaagh!  Big no-no!  :-)

There is *NO* "a" between "Yeerong" and "pilly".  Hence, it's correct
pronunciation is "Yee-wrong-pil-lee", rhyming with Indooroopilly.

The reason for the mispronuncing of Yeerongpilly is for the next station
down is Yeronga ("Yeh-wrong-ga")... people lazily think to only add a
"pilly" to the end of Yeronga.
