Editing Bundaberg (section)

===City name===
The name was coined by surveyor [[John Charlton Thompson]] and his assistant Alfred Dale Edwards. ''Bunda'' was derived from the name of one of the kinship groups of the local [[Taribelang]] people, and appended with the suffix "berg". Two sources of the suffix have been proposed. It is a Saxon suffix which means "hill".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article218207226 |title=EARLY BUNDABERG |newspaper=[[Daily Mail (Brisbane)|Daily Mail]] |issue=6679 |location=Queensland, Australia |date=23 July 1923 |access-date=9 December 2018 |page=8 |via=National Library of Australia |archive-date=25 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210325050820/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/218207226 |url-status=live }}</ref> It is also a German word which translates as "mountain", and refers to the [[Bundaberg Hummock|Sloping Hummoch]], the singular hill rising above the relatively flat region surrounding the Burnett River on which the city is situated.

Colloquially, the city is widely known throughout Australia as "Bundy". Residents are referred to by the demonym '''Bundaberger''', and the corresponding adjective is '''Bundabergian'''.{{Citation needed|date=December 2024}}
