Here’s one I heard from a young newsreader. Condobolin. She pronounced it Condebowlin.
A hard one is Canowindra, which is pronounced Canoundra.
In India you have New Delhi, pronounced Delli,
but there is a Delhi Road in Sydney which from memory is pronounced Delleye Rd.
In Sydney we have a beach Coogee. The oo is as with cook. In WA, there is a Coogee pronounced with the oo as in cool.
We have Jervis Bay. I am used to pronouncing it as Jarvis Bay, but the locals seem to prefer is as Jervis, as in perve (no disrespect intended – just pronunciation).
Which reminds me of the time when someone asked my advice as to the correct pronounciation for pronunciation. Hmmm. Isn’t English a wonderful language?
