(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.
