The Nullarbor Plain isn't an Aboriginal name - it's Latin. Nul Arbor - no trees.

How did I never realise this before?

It took me quite a while to realize that Sacramento is Spanish, and that San Francisco is St. Francis. Weird how growing up with names makes that block from thinking about what they mean.
