Waverton

Where can you find an unsealed road only a five-minute drive from the harbour bridge? Not only unsealed, but a grass road? In Waverton. It's Woolcott Avenue, with steps at one end and a barrier at the other, on the Waverton Park boundary.

Is it Palm Close or Palm Court? And should the sign be high or low? Problem solved in Woodbine.


We asked how to pronounce Silverwater's Slough Street, and how many other ways there are to pronounce "ough". "Slough" is as in brow. There are nine pronunciation variations. The others are as in ought, though, through, thorough, cough, rough, hiccough (the old spelling of hiccup) and lough (old spelling of "loch").
