Now I'm reading about the town of Toowomba. Wikipedia has a detailed but inconclusive section on where it got this name from. (It's sad the knowledge wrapped up in that name and its history appears to be lost.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toowoomb

@frogglin Thinking more about this, since most of the explanations for the name Toowoomba involve words about swamps, that map is entirely accurate. The rest of Australia really is insufficiently woomba.

(Don’t worry, I’m backing out of this rabbit hole now.)

@frogglin @mike having spent the day in woombie town… yes! :)

@frogglin I am in this post, and I am laughing far too hard. ( i live in Toon Town.)

@frogglin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Niall in Raglan :laserkiwi:

@frogglin so where's the isowoomba line of correct Woomba?

carlos quintana

@Niall @frogglin - in Justtherightamountofwoomba, a rural suburb of Toowoomba

@stenhaastrup @frogglin It's missing Iaeland and Ibeland north of Iceland, and Iseland etc south of Ireland ;)

Sten

@stealthradek @frogglin Careful there, extrapolation is a lot less reliable than it interpolation

Dr. Maddkap, Werepsychologist

@stenhaastrup @frogglin Keep going in that direction. You’ll go through the entire alphabet and start over, passing through New Iceland, New Ireland, and eventually ending at … New Zealand.

@drmaddkap @stenhaastrup @frogglin And ultimately to New Zzzland, which actually is a Southern Rock cover band.

@stenhaastrup @frogglin

My brain keeps trying to parse that as a hurricane track.

@frogglin hahaha I was in Toowoomba today! Now I'm in Insufficiently woomba.

@frogglin I guess anywhere else is not to woomba

Morten Grøftehauge

@frogglin I had a roommate from Toowoomba and it sounded like less woomba is really where you want to be

@frogglin Perth. (Earth). Kangaroo island. (Kangaroo mainland). Broome. (Swept). Nullarbor plain. (More interesting with trees)

Simon Hobeck

@frogglin is there a place that is the exact amount of Woomba?

Wonderdog

@anne_twain @Shobeck @frogglin Hilarious to me - I live in one but all my family are in the other 🤣

@frogglin oh my god.

I haven't lived in Australia since 1997 and as soon as I saw the caption on the green I knew it was going to be Toowoomba and I still laughed really hard.

Artyewok/Sprinkles

@frogglin it reminds me of the time a friend and I were at an airport and in the international section there was a huge map of the world and he pointed at "Wuhu" in China and exclaimed "Woohoo"

🦇Lyle Solla-Yates🦇

@frogglin surely there’s a donut around Toowoomba that is just right? A sort of woomba Goldilocks zone?

Chookbot

@frogglin Did you know Adelaide was named after Queen Adelaide, a German lady whose German name was Adelheid? The diminutive of Adelheid is Heidi. So it's not incorrect to call the city of Adelaide "Heidi".

Dr. Oblivious

@frogglin That’s actually a pretty solid dad joke. Laugh away.

Paul Kinlan

@frogglin hehe. Very good. my uncle lives there.

Crystal_Fish_Caves

@frogglin the amount of 'woomba' in my timeline has increased 7800%

Mustardon 🇺🇸

@frogglin
There are two woombas in one spot of Austwalia and none for the west of Austwalia? I say, CWEAN FWOORS FOR ALL!

Jef Poskanzer :batman:

@frogglin I have been to Katoomba, it had just the right amount of oomba.

Alexandre B A Villares 🐍

@frogglin no, the rest of the world is insufficiently funny!

Simon Elvery

@frogglin @drew I can confirm the accuracy of this take.

Lyn

@BLatro The real Woomba was inside us all along.

Eleanor LNR Blair

@frogglin I am wondering if there is a spot with exactly enough woomba.

bugbear

@lnr @frogglin "on the next episode of Goldilocks through Australia" :D

Xander Plooy

@frogglin and I’m already regretting making this in response 😅
