Happy New Year!

Tom Ugly = What a moniker to have!

As always, there's a story there. But no-one is quite sure which story it is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Uglys_Bridge). One theory is that it's based on an Aboriginal mispronunciation of a European name (Huxley or Illigley). Another is that it's an English corruption of an Aboriginal word. In any event, by the time the first bridge was built, the land at one end had been known as Tom Ugly's Point for at least eighty years, even if no-one remembered how Tom Ugly actually was, if he was a person at all.
