Sydney - The Sporting Planet Travel Guide to sports teams, stadiums, events and facilities around the world Sydney Olympic (formerly Sydney Olympic Sharks and UTS Olympic) are the nomads of the National League, having moved around various suburbs of Sydney since the NSL began in 1995-96. Sydney's sporting interest is arguably the most diverse in the country and although the City does not generate the types of crowds consistently generated in Melbourne, there are plenty of sports to see and plenty of high quality facilities to see them in. The Sydney Swifts have been regular playoff contenders since 1997 but had always faulted at the last hurdle - until 2001 that is. The Sydney Sandpipers were recently consumed by the Swifts because they had been the least successful of the Sydney netball teams since the inception of the Commonwealth Bank Trophy in 1997. sportingplanet.idx.com.au /sydney(2004).htm   (171 words)

Scottish Placenames in Melbourne, Australia Melbourne historians consider this to be a descriptive name, taken from the name of a cottage occupied by a Captain Bunbury, but it is nevertheless interesting to note that an early name for this area was Scotchman's Hill. The Melbourne suburb was named for Benjamin Baxter, Clerk to the Bench of Magistrates in Melbourne in 1838 and a landowner in the area. These Melbourne suburbs derive their names from that of an earlier township (now the suburb of Malvern East) which had been privately surveyed in 1853 and which was named Waverley by its owner after the Sir Walter Scott novels. rampantscotland.com /placenames/placename_melbourne.htm   (4222 words)
