Tinamba is said to come from the aboriginal word Tinyambo meaning "pull my toe" so I am thinking someone is having a go and it should be SALES not SCALES bur further investigation showed me that walkover weigh scales are designed to sit in the exit race of a dairy and weigh cows as they leave the dairy after each milking and that the lady who runs this business is part of the export cattle market. So the name relates to checks and balances put into place for the selling of the calves.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Very interesting, Maureen. Many of our Aboriginal names have been adopted as unwitting jokes, have they not? 'Moomba' comes from the Aboriginal word for 'bum', 'moom'.
