Ohhhhhh what a gem of a thread..... The dialects run free.
I have these "debates" with my wife, on how to say words. Purely because I have an Aussie accent and she, the Upstate NY accent. For the record, I pronounce it "Bathust" with the "thust" said quickly. And I've just bought my campsites for the great race too. So there... :P |

Look at how they pronouse AUSTAR!
Going by the adds on TV..... AUS STAR..... when it should read AUST AR ? We have a small town up the ranges near Mareeba... called Ravenshoe. Pronounced " Ravens...hoe " Yet people who arent locals often call it... Ravens shoe! Always brings up a laugh.

However the way our family pronounce our name is as described below... Ba-thurst. The funny thing is when you tell someone your name and they proceed to spell it with two Hs, or put it down as the town you are from. |

Creswick in Victoria. I think the W should be silent. In London UK, Chiswick is pronounced "Chisick"
Melbourne was named after a British Prime Minister http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William...ount_Melbourne They pronounce it Mel Born. We say Mel Burn. There is a place in the uk called Loughborough. It is pronounced Luff boro. An Australian tourist was heard calling it "Luga boro". |
