The names for the two football clubs featured here come from the local Yorta Yorta language. "dhukandira" means wombat, while "gurburr" means koala. I added the "a" onto the end of the name to make it "Gurburra" so that it sounds more like a possible name for a local town.
Many of the towns of Victoria's North East / Southern NSW have Aboriginal names that end with "a", such as Wangaratta, Echuca, Corowa, Wahgunyah, Wodonga, Yackandandah, Moama, Barooga and (my favourite) Tangambalanga.

Chinese Food Nouns work sheet
The illustrations for this one were quick as well as fun to draw. Adding colour with poster textas adds to the visual appeal.
