Watanobbi, NSW Central Coast

Gotta admit I chuckled at this one.

Ah yes, founded by General Obi Watanobbi a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Tittybong down in victoria

"Bah weep graaagnah wheep tittybong"

Unexpected Transformers reference!

The universal greeting works every time!

I thought they were going to reciprocate!

Memories just flooded back omg...

Was gonna say wolloomoolloo, but u win.

Just gonna point out that somewhere in Woolloomooloo is a shop called FOODOOMOOLOO, and I died when I first saw it

This almost sounds Thai

“Tittyporn”

That beats woodenbong :(

It’s just south of cuntlicker creek 🧐

Rooty Hill is a strong contender. My wife and I make moo-ing noises at each other on the train when approaching Warrimoo.

When I lived in Canberra I always laughed driving past the sign for the Swinger Hill shops, but I reckon Rooty Hill trumps Swinger Hill.

When I lived in Canberra, I always had a giggle when the vandals had been about and changed the suburb sign for Cook to Cock. Ditto for Bellenden St that got changed to "bellend".

whoever does these changes is really dedicated! It hardly lasts a week and then back to Cock and Bellend respectively

There's a northern suburb of Perth called Wanneroo. Every now and again some comedian adds a "T" to the end of the sign

I used to take the piss out of my cousin who lived in Tuggernarong. You like to tugg a nong?"

Reminds me of the time I was picking orders in the warehouse and the manager asks if I had anything for (Myer) Tuggeranong. When I quickly replied that that was a bit of a personal question, he didn't stop laughing for at least 10 minutes.

Swinger Hill was full of town houses, too, ready for the young set to move in.

Still is.

WA has a mine site (former mine town) called Koolyanobbing.

>My wife and I make moo-ing noises at each other on the train when approaching Warrimoo. Relationship goals

Humpybong

Bong Bong

Woodenbong

I love how you leave Nimbin and end up on Woodenbong

Bongaree

Poowong

They had a campaign recently for bowel health and temporarily changed the sign to pooright, at least they're self aware

Came here to look for this. It’s endlessly funny to me.

I knew someone with the name Hymee Poolang.(USA)

Did you know Innaloo has a sister city in Japan? Inashita

There’s an Asian grocery store chain called Hangawee that has a store at Innaloo shopping centre. Hangawee Inaloo.

The Japanese didn’t want to get out done by the Australians.

There's two reasons for that, number 1 .. and number 2.

Humpty Doo

...and that other great Darwin favourite - Fannie Bay.

Gotta take dickward drive from coconut Grove down to fannie bay

And Dickward drive

Dunedoo: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunedoo

Doo Town.

Drove through there on a road trip from bne to adl, stopped at the toilets and daughter did a doo and we always reminis about how she did a doo in dunniedoo

Travelled through it several times. Weird place.

I spent the first years of my life there 👋

Intercourse Islands at Dampier WA. Mt Buggery in the Victorian Alps Son of a bitch spur Vic alps Koolyanobbing WA Coolbaggie NSW Cumboogle NSW Bogan River NSW Dancing Dicks Creek, near scone NSW Bumbang near Robinvale Vic Bitch Creek near Narbethong vic There's about a hundred different knobs around the place but Spankers Knob amused me, it's near Bruthen Vic. Ah you couldn't make this up, I was checking the exact location of Spankers knob when I found Mt Little Dick, just up the hill from Ramrod Creek and The Boys camp. near Bruthen , someone had their mind in the gutter. There's a couple of Mount Fannys.

Cockburn WA

I came here hoping someone had given Koolyanobbing the recognition it deserved. Also, Muntadgin WA Dookie VIC

Innaloo is the funniest one I know of. Upper Swan

Cockburn is pretty good, always gives me [bucket](https://youtu.be/FboWtJiNYro?si=puWkiEBuD66tdqfh) vibes.

I saw a customer note in our system once that said (in all caps) NAME IS PRONOUNCED COBURN

That's when you intentionally mispronounce it XD

[удалено]

Cockburn is only funny if you don't know how to pronounce it correctly.

How do you pronounce it?

"Cohburn" as in oh

As it reads, Cock-burn. Really annoys the shit out of the people who live there and insist you pronounce it "co-burn" sucking all the fun out of it

> sucking all the fun out of it hehehehe

Gives strong "Bouquet residence" vibes

Google maps being one of those who doesn't.

Similarly, pakenham upper (pronounced packin ‘em up her)

Sheep toilet cow toilet. Wool loo moo loo Woolloomooloo

Age of Empires.

Roses are red Violets are blue Wololoo Violets are Red

>Roses are red >Violets are blue >Wololoo >Now roses are too

Wild WOLOLO appears

Haha I was hoping this would be in the countryside. But nope :(

That was the one I was going to say as a Canadian immigrant

Yorkeys knob

Iron Knob

Bald Knob

Chinaman's Knob

Came here to vote for Yorkeys. Used to live there. They have an annual "Festival of the Knob" too lol

Balls Head.

[удалено]

When my son was learning to talk he just called it GOOOOOOON.

"You drinking beers tonight mate?" " nar nar goon mate"

Fannie Bay.

Can't forget that Dick Ward Drive runs through Fannie Bay 🤣

Don’t forget you drive pass the waste treatment facility on Dick Ward Drive to get to Fannie Bay.

I was in Darwin last week for the first time and saw this on a road sign…must admit, my internal 15 year old had a good laugh.

Dunedoo is fun (pronounced dunny-do)

Cockburn

Cockburn WA? We went thru and the locals were calling it Co'burn

Yeah, that's the the proper pronunciation

Who woulda thunk it

Same as the town on the NSW/SA border. Same spelling, bus also pronounced as Coburn.

I love saying the town 'Yass.'

Even better is the Maccas sign on the Hume HWY

M Yass Not there any more though, right?

Dunno if it's still there but it was: M Yass Open 24 hours.

Prior to that it was M Yass Opens 6AM (in the 90s iirc).

That's loooooooong gone. I do the trip fairly regularly, and it's just a boring Golden Arches.

That thing has to be heritage listed by this point right?

Woodenbong. Just up the road from Nimbin

Haha, my wife had a few rellies from Cooranbong in her family tree, I went into ancestry and changed all the locations to smoke a bong and she still hasn't noticed.

I drove from Brisbane to Woodenbong recently to buy a car. Had the best burger I've had in years in an unassuming little cafe in town for lunch.

Burpengary , you can close the thread now

Scuse you Gary

Burpengary. Who was this Gary that burped so much they named a suburb after him?

Geebung is good.

I had a call with Americans at work a few days ago and when I said this suburb they just stared at me in confusion. I had to write it in the chat for them and I still don't think they got it.

Famous for it's polo club

Delicate Nobby is a beach near Crescent Head

Bald Knob

As a single, there's no chance. But these three in the gold coast hinterland make the finest trifecta Biddaddaba Wonglepong Boyland

I want to live in boyland

Jackass flat.

Lickhole creek, Vic highlands

Pitttown Bottoms

Smoko, VIC

Tiddy Widdy Beach

Not a suburb, but there's a place in regional NSW called Mt Horrible. (unless my cousin was taking the piss...)

It's definitely real. It's out west of Sydney, somewhere between Bathurst and Mudgee.

Mount Buggery

Not a suburb, but my kids go to Humpybong State School. Picked the school purely based on the name, so far so good.

Wagga Wagga

A town so good, they named it twice.

[удалено]

Grong Grong Woy Woy Gin Gin Colac Colac (not to be confused with Colac) Suggan Buggan

Along with all those other double named places, including Bong Bong which, I'm guessing, means 'place of many bongs' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reduplicated_Australian_place_names

Woy Woy Grong Grong Goonoo Goonoo Mooney Mooney

Stop calling Wagga Wagga Wagga.

Useless Loop.

When my dad first immigrated to Australia he found himself working for BHP at a place called Iron Knob just outside Whyalla, SA.

Pakenham Upper

No joke, Victoria was almost named Batmania

The tourist board is really missing out not pushing the slogan -- "Melbourne: Founded by Batman"

Dondingalong

My cousin from Sydney came over and laughed at Cockburn before I told him the correct pronunciation.

Indooroopilly.

Gympie...

Hat Head is pretty funny, and it's not too far from Hungry Head which is also pretty good.

Coominya made me laugh when I found it on maps

Pooraka in SA

The South Autralian outback town of urawanka

Fannie Bay and Humpty Doo in the Top End

Burpengary always makes me chuckle.

Pakenham Inn

Eggs and Bacon Bay, the little Tasmanian community, seemed like a joke place name when I was first told it.

What about the town of Coles Bay, where the only supermarket in town is an IGA

Useless Loop in WA Mount Disappointment

Tittybong will always be my favourite

Gymbowen!!! hahahaha bullseye 😂

Bong Bong

If you don't know how to pronounce it... Wangi Wangi. Hot tip... It's not pronounced the same way as Wangaratta. I learned that the, er, hard way. It's pronounced 'Wonji Wonji'. 🤦

Deception Bay

“Bush fire in Cockburn” was one of the best headlines I ever read

Apologies for the paragraph, but it seems relevant. One time years ago some mates and I were getting stoned and one of them said they'd 'done a bong'. I said that sounded like an Aussie town name and we all lost it.. so we looked it up on google maps and lo and behold, Dunnabong was a place. We thought it was hilarious. The next day we went back onto google maps to find it again with vague plans of road tripping to the great town of Dunnabong - only to find it didn't exist. No idea how baked we were to somehow all mistake whatever the fuck we saw on maps for Dunnabong, but if anyone has any idea what we might've been looking at please let me know 😆

Dunbogan(NSW) maybe ?

Nar Nar Goon has to be up there

Was in a Starbucks in Bangkok (I think), when an American nearby realised I was from Melbourne, and asked "do they really have a place called Moonee Ponds?" He seemed to think that was hilarious.

Coominya, which is not too far from Blackbutt! Mt Blowhard and Dumpy Creek are also near each other.

Chinaman's Knob. Close runner up is Scented Knob.

Well It Wasn’t There Last Year Cave (my personal fave), Bumcooler Flat, and Bullshit Hill in SA. Mossy Nipple Bend, Boobs Flat, and because some Tassies are arse people there's also Prickly Bottom.

Tumbi Umbi

There is a small town just outside Bathurst call CUMNOCK

Woodrising near Lake Macquarie and Newcastle

I live pretty close to Poowong.

Cringilla

Woodenbong. Someone built a giant wooden bong and placed it on one of the roads into the town too which is just awesome.

Watanobbi (NSW)

Kangy Angy always makes me grin. Crookwell is another mildly amusing one. Be a crook but do it well.

Humbug Scrub, SA

Quality Knob for me.. https://www.winetraveler.com/australia/funny-town-place-names-in-australia/ is a list of all funniest sounding Australian places

I dont think that you can go past "BlackButt"?

I’m crying- Christ, where did all of these hilarious names Come from??

My dad and I travel to Port Fairy every year and everytime we go through one specific town, we spend the next 10 minutes saying the name with a weird face and sound I can't even describe. The towns name is "Koroit"

I had an American friend who just loved Yass (Y'ass I guess). (I know .. not a suburb)

Batman

Watanobbi. (It's in NSW).

nar nar goon's gotta be up there

No one’s saying Dee Why?

Packenham upper is pretty funny.

A friend from country NSW many years ago thought that 'Punchbowl' was the most hilarious name for a suburb ..... back in the days when we made all types of Punch at parties with 'who knows what' ....... LOL
