Uglies (I don't think this is the actual spelling though) are popular as a finale, unaccompanied, harmony, singing session, down in Oz - particularly in Darwin, Northern Territory.

I know Mudcatter "Tony in Darwin" has explained the derivation to me before, but my Pooh-Bear brain has conveniently mis-filed the data somewhere!!!

Maybe one of the other Northern Australian 'catters could help here ...
