Quotations
- 1985 Dan Simmons: Song of Kali: ISBN
031286583X pages 4, 17:
- When I had first told him the name we'd chosen for our
daughter, Abe had suggested that it was a pretty damn waspy title
for the offspring of an Indian princess and a Chicago pollock.- -

- I never would have chosen the name "Victoria"
but was secretly delighted by it. Amrita first suggested it one hot
day in July and we treated it as a joke. It seemed that one of her
earliest memories was of arriving by train at
Victoria Station in Bombay. That huge edifice -
one of the remnants of the British Raj, which evidently still
defines India - had always filled Amrita with a sense of awe. Since
that time, the name Victoria had evoked an echo of
beauty, elegance and mystery in her.

Victoria (abbrev "VIC" for purposes of Australia Post and ISO 3166-2:AU and some publications' worldwide extensions of the
Chapman codes) is the southernmost mainland state of
Australia. It adjoins
South Australia to the west and
New South Wales to the north-east. Across Bass Strait to the south lies the island state,
Tasmania.
When it joined the Commonwealth of Australia in
1901 its capital,
Melbourne, was the financial capital of Australasia. Some
New Zealanders still go there occasionally for shopping.
