One of my mates used a couple of letters from each of his family's names to come up with his farm name (Brian- BRI, Kathleen - KA, Dianne - DI, Rose - RO) BRIKADIRO
Just a suggestion.

Outlaws,
I know that sometimes people get sick of aboriginal names but they often have a nice sound and appropriate underlying meaning. The following site may be helpful:
Site Link
We named out place Tallagandra which means place of many crows in the local language.
If the farm is new and a self motivated decision then perhaps
Moment of Madness
Don't get me wrong it is a great lifestyle and I have been there, but hard to be financially successful unless big.
cheers

g'day,
your place is in the Chittering Valley?
"chittering" is described by as an Aboriginal word probably meaning "place of the willy wag tails". One of the Aboriginal words for this bird is "chitti-chitti'.
my suggestion?
get yourself and your partner and sit together for a sunrise or the like and i'm sure something will come up. (aah what did i just write?)
too big a question mate, the answer has to come from inside yourself.
be sure to let us know eh?

"For instance, at the time of Aboriginal arrival, the dinosaurs were long gone but they encountered an equally fascinating set of ‘mega-fauna’. These included giant kangaroos and wombats, as
well as large cow and rhinoceros like creatures."

Maybe the term "a cow of a time" originated back then in prehisoric times as a way of describing just how hard they were to hunt....

Sit down with your family and friends have few drinks over a beutiful sunset and mull it all over, best way to get inspiration.
For my 5 cents my uncles farm is "Yeerong" so maybe "Yeeright"?

A few years ago we nearly bought a few acres with a lovely chalet style house, set in immaculate gardens & it was named "YARCSTOOF"
For quite a while we imagined Yarcstoof to be the name of picturesque remote alpine area in Europe, when we finally asked the owner what was the significance of the name, he said " thats easy, I love AFL football, it is FOOTSCRAY spelt backwards" !
Since then we don't bother with preconceived ideas about names.

There's a street on the Sunshine Coast "Tsipur Street". Story goes the council tried to acquire some land from the local hotel to make a street. The publican only agreed if he had the naming rights. Try spelling that one backwards!

You mean is hasn't been named before? Farms hate having their names changed with every change in ownership - real confusing for them. Otherwise, good suggestions above. Also bustmegutup and moneypit being more un-original names. Or as you are outlaws, how about
