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

William Wordsworth.  The only poem I learnt off by heart was Daffodils.

The 2 storey Maccas in the city has seating up stairs, like the Dome in Dramadale. But half the time the stairs are roped off and you can't go up there.

I'm unable to post this particular Austrian town's name here as I'd probably be sanctioned if I did, and I even had a lot of trouble eventually finding a link which didn't have the town's name as part of the URL, but http://www.snopes.com/photos/signs/austria.asp will give you all of the details necessary to enjoy a good belly laugh.

I love many of the unusual names found in the Snowy Mountains - Dead Horse Gap is one, Khancoban, Talbingo, Guthega, Perisher  - there are so many!

 

I was born in Cooma when we were living in the old Adaminaby township, but moved when the town was relocated due to the flooding when they created Lake Eucumbene (yep - they moved the whole town!) 

I remember going there when I was very little - maybe 3? and the block where our house had been had already been inundated but we had a picnic where my Aunty used to live!

 

 

My overseas friends get a giggle out of many of our double up names (Woy Woy, Wagga Wagga, Walla Walla etc)
