Strange / Silly place names in Australia

[HiEquity]

Isnt there a town in Tassie where all the houses are named 'this'll do' or 'gunna do'!

That'll be Doo Town

A very nice part of the world indeed...

 

[Rockstar]

Here they all are. Though I couldn't locate C0#k Wash on the map

 

[Witzl]

Bogan, NSW.... the geographical centre of NSW.

 

[Aaron Sice]

i still reckon QLD's "Indooroopilly" gets the vote.

 

[Pushka]

Bogan, NSW.... the geographical centre of NSW.

Isn't it great when people recognise their place in the order of things?

Woodenbong (never seen one made out of wood)

Rugby (I thought it was a sport)

Moorland (now we're talkin')

Mayrung (but she didn't leave a message)

Lucknow (about time)

Little Wobby (too much ****)

Howlong (are we there yet?)

Crookwell (so are you sick or are you well?)

Crakenback (great place for a chiroprator)

[Petal]

Moo Town
Wongelpong
and isn't Watanobbi (mentioned earlier) actually called Watanobbi Rise?

 

[units4me]

Also in Victoria is POOWONG.

 

[kum yin lau]

Hilarious. And we thought Myponga and Younghusband funny?

KY

 

[DavidMc]

In Victoria we have a town called Pakenham. Just to the north is Pakenham Upper.

I always thought Koo Wee Rup was funny when I was a kid. Maybe because it's near Poowong.

We always got a bit of a laugh from "coonamble". Fancy calling a town after some people who travel slow (this was teenage laughter though)...

"Wombat" is close to my heart though. damn good pub there.

Also, as a kid growing up Central west NSW, we called the people from "Narromine" as being "narrow minded people".

As a test to our foreign friends, we tried to get them to pronounce "Wooloomooloo"

"Eumungerie" was also a good one to try and your mouth around (especially after a few social drinks in the Eumungerie pub.

But the real snicker from our teenage years was "Rooty Hill".


Thanks
