Meaning of Kittens' Names

Ozspots Southern Star - The Southern Cross is the best known and most represented star group in the Southern Hemisphere.  The group's distinctive shape is easily located because of its brightness and close proximity to each other. It can be seen all year round from almost anywhere in the Australia.  The stars of the Southern Cross form part of our Australian flag.
Ozspots Dreamtime - In Australian aboriginal mythology, the time during which the earth was formed and living things were created is known as 'The Dreamtime'.  It consists of four aspects: The beginning of all things; the life and influence of the ancestors;  the way of life and death; and sources of power in life.   It consists of all four aspects at the same time because it is a condition beyond time and space where all things exist at once.
Ozspots Bennelong - Bennelong was an elder (senior man) of the Eora tribe of Australian aboriginal people found in area in which Sydney was first settlement in 1788.  He is thought to have been born about 1764.  He was captured in November 1789 as part of Governor Phillip's plan to learn the language and customs of the local people.  Although a captive, Bennelong served the British colonisers well in an (ultimately vain) attempt to aid relations between the two groups.  In 1790, Bennelong asked the Governor to build him a hut on what became known as Bennelong Point, now the site of the Sydney Opera House.
Ozspots Sundowner - An Australian term for a tramp or drifter or vagabond who habitually arrives at sundown. 
Ozspots Australis - 'Australis' is a Latin adjective for 'southern'.  'Terra Australis' is Latin for "the unknown land of the South") and was an imaginary continent, appearing on European maps from the15th to the 18th century.   The idea of 'Terra Australis' was finally corrected by Matthew Flinders and James Cook.  Cook circumnavigated New Zealand, showing it could not be part of this large imaginary continent.  Then, Flinders then took command of an expedition to investigate the coastline of Australia in 1801.
