[ozwinner]

Welcom back veiwer.
There is a street not 5 minutes walk from here, and armed with a shifter, under the cover of darkness you could away with the street sign.

Never mind darkness, some Uni fellows of my son did it in broard daylight. :eek: ........

They awayed with the street sign with.....................

"The Pinpot" ...........................inprinted on it...............

What intersting street names are near you??
They took it back I might add too.

South of Adelaide is PEDDLERS CREEK...... every new years it always got the horizontals painted off of the "E"

[E. maculata]

Out near Bonalbo is the infamous "upper duck creek road" stolen & replaced, stolen & replaced and so on, and down the road is "lower duck creek road" not nearly as funny.

[journeyman Mick]

There's an area and road called "Fairyland" just down the road. Named after the race track that was there almost 100 yrs ago. We've got a few knobs around the place: Yorkey's Knob, Bone's Knob, Sackley's Knob. Also a Narcotic Creek on the tablelands.

[oges]

Out near Parkes is a small town called Bogan Gate, but someone forgot to close it and they all got out :D

Also a Frying Pan creek and Dead Bird Lead creek out that way

[RufflyRustic]

.... another one in toowoomba was "Beer St",.....

We also have the Wine estate - chardonnay, shiraz, merlot etc Also known as the plonk estate etc etc etc. Unfortunately not the best area of town, but starting to improve now.

Red Knob Rd in Nowa Nowa.

Y Street in Ashburton.

[Felder]

Funniest name for a location I know of is Mount Little Dick :eek:. It is located in the Mountain Ash Range of Victoria near Mount Bald Head and Mount Alfred.

So funny on so many different levels.........:D

[Iain]

Y Street in Ashburton.
Work there did you, I've been there a few times when I was with TAC.
Heres one not far from us.

[silentC]

My old man has a photo of himself taken under the sign at 'Little Baldy' near Mt Hotham. Yes he is bald and he has hunched himself over in the photo. Very amusing. We laughed and laughed...

That reminds me of a photo of my old man just after the war, in the French Alps, standing next to a big sign 'PISTE' with a beer in his hand:D :D :D

I've seen a place called Gobblers Knob just outside San Diego

[Shedhand]

A place in Tassie called the 'Walls of Jerusalem' and another called 'Paradise'. Hells's Gate on the west coast...Collingwood River (slow moving and remote - appropriate really):D

[Termite]

My address is Kalulah Avenue and most of the residents think the bloke that named it must have been piste when he did so, because the sign at one end reads Kalulah Street, and you can imagine the variations on Kalulah we get.

From the number of parties we have in the Ave/St we reckon he really meant "Kaluah Heaven". :D

[oges]

I still cant work out why the residents of Watanobbi on the Central Coast want the suburb renamed :rolleyes:

[Wizened of Oz]

Lovers Lane is a real street in Bundaberg.
In suburban Brisbane there is a road, now filled with expensive houses, named simply "The Jinker Track".
The main street of Caloundra is Bulcock Street.

Kind regards
Brian

[womble]

there's a Misty Mountains road on the tablelands (Lord of the Rings reference)

[bsrlee]

One that doesn't get stolen much - Gay St. in Lane Cove.

Then there's Tumble Down Dick (actually Tumble Down Dick Hill, but locals shorten it).

Or Yatta Yattah on the NSW south coast, its just a road sign, the 'town' seems to have faded away. I've probably got the spellng wrong, but who cares.;)

[Iain]

Red Shirt Gully Rd in Panton Hill, Melb suburb.
In our thriving metropolis, just to confuse the foreigners, we have McDonalds Track-McDonalds Rd-McDonalds St-McDonalds Lane and McDonalds Drain Rd.
The track is the main road but causes a lot of confusion.

To service our po9pulation of a couple of hundred, not yet, we have a pub though, The Palace.
I brought this up at Al's snagfest, have you ever noticed that any hotel called the palace is generally anything but...............

[Caliban]

There's a creek nth west of Sydney called Long Neck Lagoon and the "L" and the "a" keep disappearing from lagoon.:D

[Iain]

There is a radio host on MBS FM whose name is Bob Rothels, bet he copped heaps when he was younger, BRothels.................
And before the nazi's strike, I know, it should be R for Robert:rolleyes:

[rrich]

In the Los Angeles area there is an intersection of streets named Charles and Manson. (Tate / LaBienca murders - See the book "Helter Skelter")

Used to be a guy at work Mike Adcock, our login names used to be the first letter of our first name and then our last name, so his was interesting. He was probably happy when we just became numbers as a login. Another guy Timothy Tam, for some reason he didnt want his first name shortened to Tim :D

[A-Marks]

There is a creek somewhere on the new England tablelands called "Three Legs O Man Creek"

and a lookout in Queensland called Whodathoughtofthat !!! all one word.

One of the funnyest signs I ever saw was one out near Boonah that simply states
"THIS IS NOT THE ROAD TO NSW"

--------------------------------------------

[doug the slug]

Lovers Lane is a real street in Bundaberg.


Close, Brian, its actually "Lover's Walk"

I had a pakistani guy in my team called faraz harkeem. we had a similar user name policy, so he got fharkeem

Years back in England, I knew a bloke called Horace Morris. He met and married a lovely girl. Unfortunately her name was Doris .... and they lived in Norris Green ... - I'd have moved if it was me.

We all gave them a heap of suggestions for names when she was expecting their first. For some reason, the happy couple ignored all the helpful advice and chose to call the little lad John.

We had a bloke in the rowing club. His name was Rob Head. No problem, right? Except that every time we entered a regatta, his name would be submitted, incorrectly, as Richard Head. This was doubly unfortunate because it meant not only that he was listed in printed regatta programmes as Richard Head but also, because we were quite successful and won a lot of trophies, his name (Richard Head, that is) has been preserved for posterity in the annals of English rowing and, in some cases, on the rather elaborate silver trophies that we were awarded.

He used to get quite upset about all this but he eventually got used to it. Needless to say, he was and, as far as I know, still is known universally as Dick.

[Wood Borer]

The North Eastern Hotel in Euroa is in De Boos Street.

Not far from us is Love Street which gets knocked off regularly.;)

A.I.F. St in Balwyn was always a good one when taxi drivers wanted a spelling just like Dan's Y St. Of course that was back in the days of voice, not this wimpy digital screen and button stuff.

[HavinaGo]

Bogaduck Rd .... near the old Heathfield railway station in the Adelaide Hills.

I seem to remember it was damp land.

[Andy Mac]

Down the range is a place called Slaughter Ck(?)Rd. which may or may not have something to do with the ex-local tribe.
Out on a bush road not far from home is a sign pointing to Yonder Lane, which always tickled me.

Cheers,

Grandparents lived in Brewery Lane in Inverell many years ago - pity they were teetotallers, glad it's not hereditary.

[Redgy]

We have Cockburn street & Thrush street....both nasty ailments I reckon

[ozwinner]

I'd have moved if it was me.
