I'll bite...

Making fast has something to do with mooring?? (Moor)

Abdominis (ab)

Manger - no idea

Rectus - I'm an arse, but I don't make the connection.

I'm guessing Moorabin - but not sure why...

well done
moor -mooring a boat etc or I could have used rolling infertile land-
ab- Rectus Abdominis (ab)- stomach muscles
bin - manger-crib- cane basket- beunne- bin

I could have used dung cart

O.E. binne "manger, crib," from Gaulish, from O.Celt. *benna, akin to Welsh benn "a cart," especially one with a woven wicker body. The same Celtic word seems to be preserved in It. benna "dung cart," Fr. benne "grape-gatherer's creel," Du. benne "large basket," from L.L. benna. Some linguists think there was a parallel Gmc. form to the Celtic one.

Easterns clue next
