Revisionist?

"In the 1960s moral outrage at the way countries like South Africa and the United States treated their black populations stirred Australians to look at their own behaviour. Many changes in Aborigines’ rights and treatment followed, including at long last full voting rights. The Menzies Liberal and Country Party government gave the Commonwealth vote to all Aborigines in 1962. Western Australia gave them State votes in the same year. Queensland followed in 1965. With that, all Aborigines had full and equal rights."

The Australian Electoral Commission

Should clarify that I toatlly understand how the names probably came about and how attached people probably feel to them, but as an 'outsider', they don't do justice to quite a cool crag. And yep, some of them are f-cking hilarious.
