Remember where Dorothy came from -- Kansas! Here, Kansas is refered to as the "Land of OZ". There is a wonderful little museum in Wamego, Kansas dedicated to one person's very extensive collection of OZ memoribilia and state highway 99 leading to Wamego is designated "The Road to OZ". At one time the tourism folks had signs all over Kansas that said "Kansas, Land of Ahs!".
Sorry, Australia, "OZ" is taken (but we are generously willing to share!) -- But, maybe Mr. Baum in some way had the tornado transport Dorothy and Toto to Australia, which then became OZ????? Any thing is possible in Fantasy Land!
