In an odd coincidence, from my top balcony if I look south-east I look over to Lake Weyba (which drains north by Weyba creek into Noosa River). "Weyba" is an indigenous word that is either stated to mean "place of stingrays", which makes sense since it is, well, a place of stringrays, but could also purportedly mean "place of the flying squirrels", which to me is a totally bizarre suggestion in light of Australia having no squirrel population, Rocky-esque or otherwise.
Sugargliders are an entirely different matter, of course.
