Walla Walla is in New South Wales just North of Albury, between Corowa

it's the original one. it was aboriginal practise to double the words
to emphasise the intent.

I believe you're thinking of Wagga Wagga, not Walla Walla.

BL.

no siree bob.

Walla Walla is south 35 degrees 46 minutes, East 146 degrees 54
minutes.

it is on the road between Culcairn and Corowa, just to the north east
of Burrumbuttock and just to the north west of Gerogery.
it is 18 DME from Albury.

Wagga Wagga is much further North.

....but dont worry about it. we're not bothered that you pinch
Australian town names. We have some of the neatest town names on the
planet.

Tallangatta, Walbundrie, Jerilderie, Tumbarumba, Chinkapook,
Managtang, Rupanyup, Booligal, Yantabulla, Tintinara, Denial bay.
there's lots more.

Walla Walla Washington was named for a native north American tribe, not
after the coincidentally named Aussie town in NSW, as evidenced by this
