Such an odd and awkward name.

It is a combination of Australia and India. Can’t remember the full story, but the early settlers to that area had some connection to the British Army in India.

Ah, thanks. I’ve never looked into the history of it. Maybe I should?

There were Indian men who married Aboriginal women and then took them and their children back to India because of how racist Australia was at the time.
