Good street name.

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

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.

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)

[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".

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

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

[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.

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...............

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

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
