In one of the screen writing books I use it says with the minor characters you don't have to name them, but you can give them a bit of personality with their name. For example, your WOMAN 1 and WOMAN 2 could become ARROGANT WOMAN and NERVOUS WOMAN (or whatever fits of course). This way it builds a slightly better picture of them which helps both the reader, and fingers crossed, the actor/actress who ends up playing them. I guess it's up to each writer to decide which character is important enough to earn a real name.

Also had to add that I too love Australia, travelled down the east coast a few years back and ended up working in a town called Mornington in Victoria for a couple of months. Had a great time and hope to go back at some point as there's too much I didn't get to do.

Ah, okay. Good idea Thanks - now I've got a few options to work with.

Yep, I love Mornington, although Gippsland is absolutely breathtaking IMO;) Yep, there's so much to do here. I've been here since 2008 and still have only barely scratched the surface!
