If suddenly parcels come back to me as failed deliveries because I didn't use it's indigenous name then id have a problem.



Who here knows it as 'Ayers Rock'? It's always been called Uluru in my lifetime
This. When was the last time we heard Uluru called by the old "new" name. Slow process of educating people to the old names. Starts by us using them in the first place. Today, I learnt the original name for Brisbane. Awesome! I'm sure some tourists were confused when they wanted to go to Ayres Rock and instead were told they were going to Uluru.

Don't think our mail is at risk of getting rejected anytime soon.
