Gav?
Bullroarer? Bad choice IMHO. It's totally meaningless to anyone outside of Oz. I had to look it up in Wikipedia and it still didn't make sense.
The internet can be really cruel because participation is optional. I reckon you will think again.
Something catchy. Walkabout News?
I agree - I think Bullroarer needs to go back to the focus group for some re-evaluation. And Walkabout News is equally nonsensical, it seems to me (and very Australia-specific). How about something that ties in Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica - Gondwana maybe - even though that's not strictly accurate either. Anzac? Anzoc? Across the Ditch?
Perhaps just leave it as Drumbeat. Or Southern Beat.
If enough people come up with a trans-Tasman friendly alternative that they like I'm happy to reconsider the title.
DrumBeat isn't an option as it will get people confused with Leanan's column.
Kiwis don't like Walkabout (which is fair enough) and Bullroarer came second in the poll (and there were a million suggestions from various people none of which seemed to rouse the passion of the masses).
