Weird named places,

Post by kaneg »

With our online business we are used to send parcells to all locations of Australia five days a week.

At times we do come across a place where we wouldn't want to live, not because the people or place sux, but it's name...

I can also just hear someone asking: and where to you live?

Answer : Innaloo (WA) :roll:

Some amusing ones we've come across at work in NSW:

Bogan Gate
Dunedoo
Goonoo Goonoo
Burrumbuttock
Binnaway

Between town names, street names, satellite imagery and Google Streetview, our team's inner 5 year old gets a weekly chuckle :lol:
Road: 2005 ZX10R - not named yet

Life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ...Holy shit...What a ride!
