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

It's a laugh when we get a new local news reader or a local town gets a run on the national news and the reader runs into one of these names. They are all within 40 or so kms of each other.

Heard four of them butchered in one sentence more than once when the pacific highway is blocked due to an accident  near Barraganyatti creek a deviation runs through Eungai via Unkya road approximately 15 kms from Bellimbopinni

Missabotti
Upper Buckrabendinni
Bellimbopinni
Eungai (pronounced you en guy)
Unkya
Barraganyatti
Yarrahappini
Collambatti

We have a lot of aboriginal place names in our shire...they make things so much easier.

South Beach is now known as Gaagal Wanggaan

I'm told that Missabotti is Aboriginal for "Missing Body"

There used to be a beer fest at the Missabotti Hall in the 70's and early 80's

.... safe to say that weeks after "missing" people were still coming out of the bush.......

Many missing bodies at the Missabotti Beer Fest...the bikies ended up buggering it. 5000 people but 1000 of them

were bikies (the entire Nambucca Valley shire population was about 8000 back then)

...the battle of Kennaicle Creek ensued.....

it was a head for the hills retreat into Kalang and Sunny Corner through the Promised Land

....the resultant battles made their way into local folklore. The coppers barred any more attempts at rekindling

Missabotti Beer Fest...... a long way from anywhere is Missabotti.
