Word competition

I need some help! Yes, it’s a bit of fluff, but it’s Canberra fluff and it’s Friday.

I’m trying to think of a Canberra-centric word, starting with F, that relates to the natural world.

Examples starting with other letters:
B for Brindabella
N for Namadgi
C for Corroboree (Park)
S for snowgum
A for Angle Crossing
You get the picture.

What say you?

f is for fucking prostitutes

Yep thats it 🙂

F is for friday. Enjoy your weekend.

F for ‘Fiddling while Canberra burned’.

Oh, and you might wanna check a calendar, as it was Thursday when this item was posted.

Erm, Floriade would be the most obvious natural-world Canberra-centric word that springs into my mind.

F is for Frost and Fog. F is for Falls (Ginninderra).

Hey snahon that’s gold!!!

After all, New South Wales IS actually better than ACT. Even I know that!

Fireworks?

Fyshwick?

Ferals. Of course, we’re not allowed to eat or wear them anymore, lest we offend those who would hug trees.

…which would explain why it was the very first comment. Guess that makes me F for clueless.

I thought “fire” was an obvious choice.

How about the F Canberra geomagnetic observatory?

Might not be related to nature but hey, I’m sure the flaming will start. Don’t think it even makes real sense…

Flatulence – seems to be a lot of that coming naturally out of our MLA’s mouths.

F is for fucking, which is what the government is doing to our school system.

F is for fungus, the yellow cap mushroom that anu students lick to get high.

F for Floriade? Or is that not natural enough?

Stop spoiling my dream! If I say it’s Friday often enough, I’ll be allowed to eat take-away for dinner and stay up late watching crappy TV.

Oh hang on, that makes my life sound really boring and sad…. where’s the edit button?

Well, it’s not Friday.

Anyway, how about F for firestorm?
