[2179] Of Manly

Some rights reserved. By Mohd Hafiz Noor Shams.

A friend told me that British explorers found this place to be manly and hence, the name Manly. At least according to a French publication.

That is just too outrageous but I think Manly is my favorite beach so far.

p/s — well, Wikipedia says:

Manly was named by Capt. Arthur Phillip for the indigenous people living there, “their confidence and manly behaviour made me give the name of Manly Cove to this place”. These men were of the Kay-ye-my clan (of the Guringai people). [Manly, New South Wales. Wikipedia. Accessed March 21 2010]

I owe a friend of mine an apology. How do you say sorry in French?
