Diamo? I wondered, and at length came up with Diamond Creek -
how many people say Diamo?
and are all vowels accented equally?
I see there is now a Degani at Koo Wee Rup between McDonald's Drain Road and Boundary Drain Road - iitalianize these…
and it's a while since there were enough of the D clan to go round, franchising is the way to go.
I could be Marco Ricardo of Degani's, Ruffey Lake Park…
if only the council permitted.
