Interesting place names

Anyone else care to contribute, this one is between Inverloch and Leongatha Vic

No piccies, but you could visit Stringers Knob in East Gippsland.

I grew up in Orbost and at high school we had a auto prac teacher whose nickname was Stringer. You can imagine the subtlety of our humour...

Used to be a very small town near Bateman's Bay, NSW. Last time I went thru' there was only a sign post.

Cardinia Shire could have been more thoughtful with Packenham Upper, the reverse would have been better, then there's Smoko near Myrtleford.

What about Goonoo Goonoo up Tamworth way (pronounced 'gunna gunoo) and also another one just north of Tenterfield is Boonoo Boonoo National Park- (pronounced 'bunna bunoo)

Iain, You beat me to it. When I used to work on the trains the Station Master at Caulfield used to announce the trains to Packingham (Packenham) and Cran Born (Cranbourne). The Station Master out at Packenham (not Australian) used to announce the buses to Packinem Up-per. LMAO every time I heard it.

You pagan hordes, it's Pakenham !!! (or Pakenham Upper, as you mentioned).

Careful, this could gestate a Place Name Nazi (PNN) !

My brother lived briefly at Waaia (pron. way-aye) up near Sheppparton in Vic, struck me as being useful in Scrabble (if you could use names) to clear out some vowels (better mind the pron. of that last phrase :eek: )
