Wonga family tree keeps growing!
November 11th, 2008
The world is going Wonga crazy. Last month we told you about the good ship Wonga Wonga, a fine Australian steamer from the 1800s with which we’re proud to share our name. And continuing the Aussie theme, we’ve also learnt about the Wonga Wetlands project. The Wonga Wetlands provide fantastic habitat for wildfowl and other animals down under. The organisation also works to preserve vital wetlands around the globe.
But the Wonga family doesn’t end there… We’ve also gone all Bill Oddie and discovered the Wonga Wonga pigeon! It inhabits, yep you’ve guessed it, Eastern Australia. We’re sure you’ll agree it’s a mighty fine bird! They are apparently quite rare, so once you’ve heard the shrill coo and finally added the Wonga Wonga pigeon to your twitcher’s book, you might want to celebrate with a trip to Wonga beach!
On a less sunny note, there’s also the infamous Wonga Coup - a group of mercenaries (including a hapless Mark Thatcher) accused of plotting to overthrow an African dictator in 2004.
What’s next? Perhaps we’ll have a rash of babies named Wonga or discover more long lost relatives in Oz. Be sure to tell us if you know of another Wonga namesake we’re missing.
