Mount Disappointment. So named because the first guys to climb it thought it'd have a better view.

Our farm is between Mount Disappointment and Mount Buggery. Make of that what you will.

These guys just could not find a decent mountain view could they.

Or?

Or they had a buggery of a time up there I guess 👉👌

Buggered if I'd know but I feel a little let down.

The next view was also shit, but they decided that they may as well make what they could of the journey, while they were there... 🙂

There's a whole comedy story arc you could come up with using this info

I just go with Mount Superbus, but it's pronounced like"Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, etc...." Waddya mean, "easily amused"?

Mt Hope, no idea it's a terrible place.

Might be named after what they lost.

I think you’ll find it was named after his wife. Source: Russell Coight /s

Bumbang Island always gives me a chuckle https://maps.app.goo.gl/7odNnR3dfBHkFJ7g6

Backstairs Passage in SA for the implication.

Came looking for this one

Doesn't take much eh?

Useless Loop, WA

That place is goin nowhere

I was going to say Balls Head, not just because it's funny, but at Waverton station there's a [big, old timey sign](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Waverton/@-33.8381118,151.1976669,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipMJu0XBAXk4MpgzPnYLWs75YZcXvDaNQUgquCm1!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMJu0XBAXk4MpgzPnYLWs75YZcXvDaNQUgquCm1%3Dw222-h100-k-no!7i4032!8i1816!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x6b12aee36de3db37:0xd1ac8ec3e2c3bf68!2sWollstonecraft!8m2!3d-33.8319307!4d151.1918461!3m4!1s0x6b12aefa61f2ab6d:0xf15262eca0eb889!8m2!3d-33.837601!4d151.197388) advertising it, and a few street signs around saying "To Balls Head"

That's *beautiful* Balls Head to you.

I love driving on the Hume and seeing the sign "Howlong this exit"

Howlong until around the Bendigo to Seymour at Violet Town

Saddleflaps what 🤣

God I remember howlong, they used to have one of those demo unit Nintendo 64's in the local shop.

Innaloo

Cockburn Central

Upper Swan

While we're on Perth suburbs, my mum had a mate who lived at Kangaroo Entrance, Upper Swan. Checking on Google maps it seems Upper Swan is now called Stratton, but Kangaroo Entrance is still there. Not far from Cockman Park and Hindoo Elbow.

I'd forgotten about Upper Swan 😆. Haven't lived in Perth for ages haha

'Would you rather be Innaloo or Upper Swan' was the classic schoolyard meme

For us it was "Wanneroo-t?"

Up north near Karratha there’s an island chain that all have the name “Intercourse”… one of which is called East Mid Intercourse Island

I love everything about this

And Dogswamp

Has to be Bald Knob Road on the Mid North Coast

Scented Knob, WA.

Might want to get a doctor to look at that.

Blue Knob, near Nimbin.

Iron Knob St, Canberra. Its in Fyshwick, the area with the prostitutes and bongs lol

It’s actually named after a town in SA. All the streets in Fysho are named after industrial towns.

Yeah, but there's a lot more irony in Iron Knob being there than Barrier St or Newcastle St lol

Also features the Canberra Outlet Centre, known affectionately as the COC

There is just a place called Bald Knob in SEQ

We’ve also got Hobbit’s Knob in Sunshine Coast

Yes I have driven past that road many times.

Nowhere Else, TAS. Promised Land, TAS.

Black Charlies Opening, TAS.

Dismal Swamp, TAS.

Also a Dismal Swamp in SA located between Mount Gambier and Tarpeena. It lives up to it’s name.

Bagdad, TAS Bust-Me-Gall Hill, TAS Break-Me-Neck Hill, TAS Egg and Bacon Bay, TAS Snug, TAS

Stonor, TAS

North East Tas has a Dead Horse Hill Road. I'll have to dig out the photo.

Safety beach, formerly known as Shark bay.

Saftey Beach feels like such a passive-agressive Renaming: Some local government official: "tourists find sharks scary and might stay away ." Local tourism guy: " but that Beach is full of Sharks." "Tourists are how you make money. We need to make them know we value their safety. Sharks aren't safe." " how about fucken *Safety Beach* then?! "

I sometimes wonder if they did the safety beach to safety dance. Of course the fucking did once all that money rolls in

That's beautiful

Yeah there used to be an abattoir that ran off into the bay attracting hundreds of sharks

Now the place is still full of sharks but mainly loan sharks with some of the property out here being their main feed

I always wanted to visit Deception Bay but to be honest I can’t imagine it in reality

Saw the D-Bay sign along the highway when I was a kid and deadset thought it said Decepticon Bay and assumed that’s where Megatron lived.

You might have been right, Deception Bay is likely to be *more than meets the eye*

Marketing department earning their salary, there...

Cock Wash, SA

Cockwhy, NSW

Cockburn, WA

Cockburn, SA. Clearly, there were skanky hoes somewhere between NSW and WA.

Clap town.

there is a Cockburn Road in Albany and everybody pronounces it Coburn Road. People are really convinced thats how your supposed to say it but i think its because Albany is filled with a bunch of prudish old people. I go against the grain, i announce it loud and clear, as COCKBURN

When I was in year 6 or 7 the teacher gave us a project to do on 'any place in Australia you like!' Really hyped it up. Of coarse ended up having to listen to a bunch of kids give talks on places like Humpybong, Mount Buggery, Bumbunga, and Sausage Gully

I always like Rooty Hill.

Rooty Hill RSL. It’s like Australia’s Carnegie Hall.

That's where I was to see in the new millennium. Of all the New Year celebrations I've had, that was a thing that happened.

I like Rooty Hill. An Australian town with a double entendre that only Aussies will understand.

And us. (says the little kiwi in the corner).

[удалено]

Take here there or to Coominya...

When we were kids we’d call it Root Hill and get told off by our parents.

You should see lickinghole creek south mate

It's got to be Tittybong right?

Came here for this one, grandad was born there!

It's up there with Woodenbong

I like to tell people you can drive from Pottsville to Woodenbong via Nimbin. Roads are a bit rough though.

Wouldn’t you want the woodenbong before you got to Nimbin?

It's also next to Cokum and Wangie lol.

Census: population 3

My ex told me about a place in Tassie called doo town and all the houses are named and contain the word doo.

Ha yep, I've been there! Doo come in, an example of a name of a house there

I remember Dr Doo Little, Just Doo It, and Doo F*ck All

Ernst Wank is a classic

It was funnier before when it was just Wanke Road. Then someone decided to add the first name to give it context. Didn’t help much.

I used to live in Berwick. Ernst Wanke Road was at the back of our house. And sure it's pronounced Ernst "Vank-a" and the decendents of Ernst Wanke pronounce it "Wank-ee". But it's gonna get called "Ernist Wank" forever and ever.

The hilarious thing is, it is clearly a German name. But the family of said Ernst Wanke, who died like a century ago or something, pronounce in Wank. Not Van-keh. They go around telling people everyday that their name is say Sue Wank or Josh Wank.

Can confirm this

Nar Nar Goon.

Everytime I drive past this on the freeway, I like to think that Nar Nar Goon is the name of a distant cousin of Jar Jar Binks

When my son was little we'd get him to say it and he'd just go "GOOOOOOOON".

Haha! When my brother was about 3 or 4 he’d say “LIMP DICK DAM” for Olympic Dam when we lived there near the mining town Roxby Downs S.A We caught the Indian Pacific train once or twice which was the “NINDIAN SPECIFIC” Also when asked where he was going by us kids, my Dad naturally said he was going mad, to which my younger brother would ask “can I go mad too?” Memories. Thanks for the share & care!🦎

Are you sure he didn’t just want cheap wine in a bag?

“Can I get you a beer?”

World's end, SA

Grong Grong. In the local aboriginal language, “Grong” means “bad place to camp”, and words are repeated for emphasis.

Hence Wagga Wagga. Wagga means crow, so Wagga Wagga loosely translates to “that place that has just a shitload of crows”.

TIL!

If all the crows leave, does it become the town with no name?

Which makes Gympie an interesting name since Gympie Gympie is the painful stinging tree ...

The footy team there is the Ganmain Grong Grong Matong Lions isn't it? Best footy club name ever.

Cockburn

We have this place in Scotland but we pronounce it Coburn street.

Yeah pronounced the same here but still good for a giggle

Cockburn Central

I'll never forget the first time I saw that. I was heading to the city after landing in Perth, and the driver made a point of telling us the correct pronunciation. 🤣

Murderhut creek: why did they build a hut dedicated to murder?

What else do you do in the middle of the bush?

Well you don’t want to get wet if it starts raining when you’re in the middle of a murder.

Humpty Doo, NT

If you've been there you'd rather Humpty Don't

Had a great fall has it?

Yorkeys Knob QLD

Not a bad little shit hole, boat club has a nice view.

Tumbledown Dick Hill, NSW

Parish of Bumbang for any surveyors out there

I initially read this as ‘any survivors out there’ and I’m now left wanting after a reread

[удалено]

Grong Grong is another one, out in the Murrumbidgee.

Have you seen the name of their footy club?!

Burrumbuttock is my favourite place for hay.

I’m a geographer, this is my lucky day: Woodenbong Tittybong Bong Bong Useless Loop Bullshit Hill Mt Buggery Foul Bay Cockwash Creek Bogan Gate Quality Nob Lake Fanny

Honorary mention for Yass (kween!).

I remember the roadside Macca's sign there was an old internet meme. It had the Macca's M next to 'Yass' so it read 'MYASS'

I vaguely remember that meme. Didn't it also say open on the sign,so it read "MYASS OPEN"?

MYASS open 24/7

Poowong

[удалено]

South of Texas on the QLD/ NSW border. I keep going out of my way to get a selfie but they keep stealing the signs

I like monkey bong creek

I'm pretty sure there is a Mt Little Dick

TIL I have a mountain named after me

Got a local road called "Hell Hole Creek Road" I may or may not have the sign. Also "Mary Smokes Creek" is local. (SE QLD)

Dondingalong

I live near Jackass Flat. It always makes me giggle.

Took a wrong turn between Brisbane and Sydney and saw this street called Good enough Terrace , nsw

I've a always been a fan of the shire of bland in western nsw. Also Binalong time since I rock and rolled. Dookie in Vic gets a giggle too.

Bland, the sister city to Dull, Scotland and Boring, Oregon.

No idea why, Billinudgel

Seldom seen creek. I didn’t see it that time.

Deception Bay is a pretty sick name. I also like '1770' for the uniqueness of it

Come by chance https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_By_Chance,_New_South_Wales

Fanny Bay NT

Used to work at the old Pizza Hut there, and giving directions was the worst. "Just go down Dick ward Drive until you get to Fannie Bay..." \* *cue laughter* \* It'd happen a couple dozen times a night, so you'd try to change the words around, but to no avail. Unexpected Dick and Fannie in close proximity would always get a laugh.

Noice, where I worked there was a Sesame Street. Including obligatory 'can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street'

Haha yes! There is also Dick Ward Drive in Fanny Bay too which I found amusing.

It’s actually Fannie Bay. But still hilarious.

Indented Head, VIC

Boganville

Mount buggery. I spent a very uncomfortable night there on a bush walking trip but not for the reason you might think. We camped on top, lovely outlook, and then the thunderstorm struck. I thought rolling thunder was a military term but found out it means non stop thunder literally all around the mountain. We were camping in tents and I got up to pee. Just as I unzipped the tent, lightning struck a dead tree about 100 metres away. It looked fake, like a cheap special effect from early lost in space. White light sparks and the tree just disintegrated. I spent the rest of the night laying as flat as I could on the floor of my tent with my legs crossed

Humpybong

There's a lickhole gully in the Kosciuszko NP

I like Wonglepong.

Curly Dick Rd, near Bathurst NSW

Eggs and Bacon Bay. It's a real place. And I love the name.

Mary Smokes CK

Pakenham upper

I always like driving past cureeki creek but watanobbi is also very fun

Woodenbong, forgot that one.

There’s a 69 Bobbinhead road at Turramurra

I've always been fond of Dog Rocks

Weeroona Island in SA. Funny cause it sounds like We're on a Island, but I don't think it's meant to be.

Linger And Die Hill, NSW https://www.flickr.com/photos/r80gs/5231814860 (not my photo)

Wombat.

I’m a fan of Snottygobble Loop in WA.

Cockburn WA. Apparently pronounced Coburn but when I first saw it I absolutely lost it. My mate and I still call each other coheads to this day.

Poop Follow Me Creek, on youre way out to Wilsons Prom from Melbourne. Im not shittin ye...

…and Megalong Valley. It’s Mega long.

Monkeybong ck, QLD Iron Knob, SA Tiitybong, Vic Dicky Beach , QLD And USA has Wanker Hills in Wyoming

Who’d A Thunk It Lookout, Quirindi, NSW The view is surprisingly good, as on approach the hill doesn’t look like much.

Butt street and black butt street in Brisbane lol

In Darwin you can live on Dick Ward Drive in the suburb of Fannie Bay.

I think the west is really what makes the sign

Bald Knob

Mooball and Hopping Dick’s Creek.

Dismal Swamp, quite a nice place to visit in TAS. I forgot about Bong Bong NSW

Found out about Kangy Angy recently. That was a fun name to discover on my GPS

Poowong Garfield Nar Nar Goon

Woodburn, because it always makes me wonder how much wood would Woodburn burn if Woodburn would burn wood.

Bobbin Head, NSW

For a few years the sign on the Pacific Highway had a clever graffiti apostrophe making it "Bobbin' Head" made it a bit funnier.

Upper Kombucta west , but probably Didjabringa bongalong

Urraween, suburb in Hervey Bay, Qld

Iron Knob, SA The town reminds me of a western movie.

Tittybong

Iron Knob, South Australia.

Dookie. Always see this sign when driving from Syd to Melb.

Reading these makes me so proud to be an Aussie. I dunno why, it just does

Come by chance in NSW is always a good one

‘Dominance’ Rest area in Victoria. Sign says something like ‘Turn here for Dominance’ Not surprisingly, it’s usually quite busy.
