Were the Nullabor plains named by the aboriginals or the Europeans?
Jamonz
"Nullarbor" is actually not an Aboriginal word. It is a Latin word meaning "no tree". Null = Nil, Arbor = Tree.Therefore, the Nullarbor Plain was named by Europeans, specifically E.Alfred Delisser, who surveryed the Nullarbor in 1866.
