Why the name "On the Wallaby"?

I wanted a unique name with an Australian feel. After joining WikiAnswers with another name, I began to notice other people's names, and really wanted to change my original nom de plume. I really liked Grevillea's name, and considered a similar theme, but as my own favourite Australian plant is the Leptospermum, I figured that would raise a few eyebrows ...

Fellow Australians will know what my name means, but for the rest of the world, "on the wallaby track" is an Australian term meaning someone is out wandering and exploring Australia. One of my favourite past-times is driving and exploring with my husband (and my dog).

In WikiAnswers, I am constantly "On the wallaby". I am passionate about all things Australian, and have left my signature all over WikiAnswers on questions that have the remotest connection to Australiana ... and some that don't ... as my interests are far and wide.

Everyone has their own claim to fame. Mine is that Australian author Colin Thiele is/was my second cousin.
