Whoop-Whoop
Created | Updated Apr 1, 2002
Whoop-Whoop is a small insignificent town in the bush of Australia. It is often used in the Australian expression "way out in Whoop-Whoop," which is equivalent to the other Australia phrase "beyond the black stump," both of which mean "way out in the middle of nowhere." Coincedently, the middle of nowhere is exactly where Whoop-Whoop is.
The town of Whoop-Whoop has exactly one post office, one church, one pub, and about ten point five houses (the point five being a hut with only three walls and a fireplace as the fourth wall burnt down during the fires of '89 and the owner, one Mrs. J. Egarbury, never had the presence of mind to fix it) and a total population of 46, which mainly consists of elderly senior citizens and farmers. They used to have a school, but it closed down due to lack of use and the one remaining student has to shuttle into the next town, Jameison (which has a total population of 93), for schooling.
