Hi Jerry,
Currajong or Kurrajong isn't a place that I'm aware of
but there is a bird thats also called a Currajong, looks a bit like a raven
with
grey bits on its wings (Australians may confuse these with what we call
crows,
but as my bird freak father also points out we don't have crows in Australia
only ravens) .
My guess is that it's an aboriginal word, whose meaning
I'm not aware of either... sorry
Rod
