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...

In America, it is hard to go past Intercourse, PA, or Onancock, VA.

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

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: )
Cheers.......Sean
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
