(hello fellow Australian ;-)
Well, you can stuff pretty much anything into a column name if you quote
it in backticks: `some thing:bla.bla`.
Maybe that knowledge will help?
Naturally, it's nicer to not have funny characters in db/table/column
names. Avoids confusion, errors, and makes things portable. Other RDBMS
will be even more picky than MySQL.

Arjen.
