Hey you, where do you live?
Lunchbox:
Toronto is actually a relatively large suburb on Lake Macquarie.
My favourite is driving past Beverly Hills on the freeway up the coast.
The majority of these weird names are the traditional Aboriginal names for them, so it's not so weird I guess?
Jimmy the Squid:
So far I dislike anywhere in Australia that isn't Sydney. Specifically the inner-west region. Even more specifically Newtown/Enmore.

Thanks for making us all sound like racist douchebags.
Also as a sidenote, Ingelise and I confirmed our position as horrible city-people by spending a large part of the drive down to Melbourne mocking the town names of basically everywhere we passed.
Lunchbox:
It's okay, Tommy, I think I know more about American geography and history than I do Australia. It's because we get it rammed into our eyeballs and earholes through popular culture.
Snuffletrout:
I liked everywhere I went in Australia. Although I don't think Ive seen as many bugs in my life as at the hotel in Alice Springs :laugh: Port Douglas was pretty nice, and Sydney was awesome except for a sadist waiter serving me vegemite for breakfast and declaring it "yummy". My tiny trust was betrayed.

There's less interesting place names like Ashfield, Summer Hill and Strathfield.
There's places named after British locations (obivously), like Penrith or Kensington.
There's also middle of nowhere towns with American names like Las Vegas, Houston and oddly, Toronto (a town with one street and a run down petrol station.

To be fair I only know of Paramatta, Woolongong, Coogee, Dubbo, Wodonga, Strathfield and Penrith out of those.
You know, we really do have some funny names.
