The Importance Of Names In Stories (And Houses And Streets!)

Choosing names for your books and characters is just as important as choosing names for houses, roads or places. Some of the names around the Blue Mountains are recent choices, while some are thousands of years old. Join me as I explore some interesting Katoomba locations - including Garguree, otherwise known as the Gully or Catalina Park. I also talk about selecting names for fictional characters and places!
