Got it off this list Doug... But when you go to the Google map link it seems its not there, so perhaps the list is wrong... 3rd place mentioned...

Did you check the others, I didn't...

LW....

No LW, spent a bit of time in the NT and never heard of that one. Same result I got when I google mapped it.

Cheers

When driving from Sydney to Blayney when my yb was a wee lad we would always laugh when we crossed "Dicks Creek"

13km north of Cairns, this section of land was named after George Yorkey Lawson, a fisherman originally from Yorkshire who built a homestead on the headland in the 1880s. Locals love boasting that their local slogan is Yorkeys Knob, bigger than Mobys Dick.

When we visited Tasmania we made a point of visiting Paradise and Nowhere Else just so we could say we've Been to Paradise and Nowhere Else. Also saw the Promised Land.

I have always liked this group "Tangambalanga at the foot of Mount Murramurrangbong in the shire of Yackandandah"

I had relatives that lived in Tangam and my dad was born in Yack.

I didn't realize that Tassie had so many weird place names like are shown on that map. Who would want to fish, swim, or boat in "Ooze Lake"? :awful:

 

[LONEWOLF]

Titwobble Lane, Wedderburn VIC

Amazing! I'd heard of Twiddy Lane, but didn't know it was called that down the other end (just did a google search). They must be forever replacing the stolen street signs?? :lol: :lol:

The sign is covered in barbed wire, bit of an attempt to keep it there a bit longer

When I posted the Tasmanian map it appeared to be a "free" item, it was not until after I had posted the other 2 that other information became available and it was either leave them or have the Mods remove all so to save any complaint from the "owner" of the maps I have included who owns and sells it. It was an error on my part for not looking further into it in the first place. :awful: :awful: :awful: Shall be more careful in future.
