BTW how *do* they pronounce castle as in Newcastle in NSW and Vic. My
brother in law who was born in St Kilda and has lived most of his life in
Altona pronounces it as New - cassel. On the other hand all the locals
including my uncle and aunt and various cousins who have lived there for >
20 years pronounce in New-carsle.
