Funny town names. What's your favourite?

Saw this doing the rounds on facebook, and thought it could be fun for here.

 

What's the funniest Australian town name you know?

 

 

I had a postbox at Condong once. It was hell trying to tell people over the phone what my postal address was.

 

Wonglepong is my favourite

Not funny as such, but I love the "melody" of both Adaminiby and Nimmitabel

I love Tidbinbilla for the same reason.

I stayed at a friend's farm at Nimmitabel once, it's such beautiful country.

Another town that is barely a town is Euabalong. Great pub there...and not much else. Best toasted sandwiches in the world.

It is pronounced You-Ab-A-Long or "you have a long" way to go. It's on the road to whoop whoop.

Foul Bay......Sth Aust.


 its a great fishing spot. they named it foul bay because the beach is piled high with seaweed for most of the year and it tends to smell foul. i had a friend who had a shack there (or rather his parents did)

There's a place half  way between Myponga and Yankalilla called Yankaponga.
