The other half and I have been at this 1 for some time now.
How do you pronounce Biddaddaba? It's a district north of Canungra, sth east QLD.

I say it as this way
Bid - dad - da - ba.

Now, the wife, well, I have no idea how she says it, not brave enough to ask just now either, but it is nothing alike my way, and she is the 1 who can speak better english plus other European languages etc etc, so therefore I must be wrong. After all, wonce I couldn't spel Machanik, now I ar won.... ;D
But.....
I recon I got this 1 spot on.
Thoughts?

Agree with scarps.

Eventually you will end up pronouncing it, "What - ev - er - dear".  ;D

Reckon you have a hard time of it, How do you reckon some international travelers would go .

I have been told it's pronounced    Be  dadda  ba   (without the gaps)
but don't give a rats hairy butt if that's wrong.

All my life, I thought air was free...until I bought a bag of chips

Most women pronounce it, "I'm correct or you'll never get sex again in this lifetime"

My hand hurts and has some whopper callouses on it.  :'(

With the same cadence as Capalaba...i.e  Capala ba(r), not Capal Aba, which is what my Victorian brain did the first time I saw the Capalaba Rod sign.

As I said to the squeeze ...  "You Queenslander have funny name!"   ;D  ;D   >:D

Only real winner of arguments like this is the local florist, or jeweller, or doc's/hospital.....

If it were me I'd pronounce it "that joint down the road" and let her pronounce it for you!

It doesn't matter, just don't follow your GPS.
I wonder how voice recognition type gps would go finding these places?
