Nowhere Else - There is nowhere else like Nowhere Else (Tas 7306). 20 minutes from Devonport, Nowhere Else has no pub, no council, not even a general store. The general store is nearby but it’s not in Nowhere Else, cos its somewhere else.

Gooloogong - On the banks of the Lachlan River between Parkes and Cowra and famous for being similar to one of our most celebrated female tennis players.
Summary so far (may be an error or two in the count)
A = 35, N = 27, Y & E = 18, H = 16, G & R = 10, K = 9, O = 9, T = 8, I = 7, L = 5, S = 4, W = 3, D & B & M = 2, C & P & U = 1. Yet to trouble the Scorer are F, J, Q, V, X and Z.
Let's get working on some of the lower numbers in the count: S, W, B, C, D, M, F, and P.
Double points for the town or suburb that leads to a Jindabyne, Jimcumbilly, or Jilliby, Quakers Hill, or Queanbeyan, Vincentia or Victoria, or a Zeehan entry.
Note: Penriff won't count towards an F starter, but Cardiff would.

I used to play a similar game to pass time on car trips where you had to name countries or capital cities and it soon became apparent that many places end in A.
Eventually we worked out that the game was better if you used the third last letter to choose the next starting letter as it provided a lot more variety.
Not saying that we should change the rules now, but using the last letter does make it incredibly hard to get to many starting letters.

Grantham - This small Lockyer Valley town was nearly wiped out after being hit by an "inland tsunami" in the 2011 QLD floods. Tragically some lives were lost and the whole town may be moved to a nearby location on higher ground.

Greenwell Point-
Oysters, cows and absolutely not one person who has ever done anything famous in their lives. The locals are gladly waiting for armageddon, so as they will have something to talk about.

Oops sorry cyclo.... Ending in O folks
Not true. Jim Wild, while not native to Greenwell Point, is a well known oyster farmer there, who was World Champion Oyster Shucker at one time. I know this first hand. Bloody strong hands too!
The town clostest to where the Snowy River meets the sea (Marlo isn't a real town!). Also lots of logging around there.
Tea Gardens, NSW. Near the Myall Lakes. Not really famous for much that I know of except it is next to Hawks Nest where John Howard used to go for his holidays.
Smiggin Holes - Great sounding name for a ski town in the Snowy Mountains. Rampaging Roy Slaven is CEO of the Smiggin Holes Winter Olympics Bid team.
Sydney = Disqualified. Already used. "S" remains the next Start Letter.
Strathfield - an outer Inner Western Suburb of Sydney and close to Concord Oval where a RWC 87 1/4 final was played and is now the home of the West Harbour Pirates.
