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.)

@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.)
