Hi Paul,

The second one is right for Huckitta. (Huck-i-tuh) Actually I have found
that if you use Google Translate you will get a "close approximation" for
most of the Aussie names. It can actually pull off Millbillillie believe it
or not! ;-)

Just type the name in the first box, select the native language and hit the
speaker icon.

Cheers,

Jeff
