Aussie Towns Trivia

[Hugh Jarse]

Kajabi QLD has been issued a Red Card for duplicate (incorrect spelling) entry. on 13 January 2012 @Suckerforred presented "Kajabbi, QLD - Home of the Kalkadoon Hotel".

Kajabbi - home of the Kalkadoon hotel

To keep the chain going correctly, Kajabi, previously joining Elsternwick and Ilbogan is to be replaced with:
Karangi - NSW. Suburb of Coffs Harbour. Namesake of HMAS Karangi was built in 1941 and scrapped in the 1960s. The abandoned wreck can be seen off Homebush Bay.

Next entry is a N from Ilbogan

Naughtons Gap - NSW. On the back road between Casino and Lismore. For food and beverage, I'd recommend those places. Nearest Rugby fix at the Casino Bulls (Casino Crocs for the older and bolder).

 

[suckerforred]

Palmerston, QLD - Absolutely nothing to do with a recently elected member of the federal parliment. Between Millaa Millaa and Ravenshoe.

NARARA - NSW.

In the early 80's some real bright promoter decided to put on a concert called "NARARA 84" . The only problem with this is they didn't hold the concert at Narara. They held it at Somersby, which is up the hill where Old Sydney Town was.
Needless to say, the drug addled morons jumped off the train at Narara asking " where's the concert?" ... And a lot of enterprising people made a lot of money shuttling these kiddies up the hill to the gig.
Anyhoo... Back to this miserable suburb of the Central Coast.

Nothing.... No food. Closest Rugby side is Gosford. Commuter heaven. Years ago there used to be a Postman who delivered more than just the mail, if you get my drift
I think he died of many, many diseases.

Apollo - NSW. Dubbo's equivalent to Auburn. Streets in this suburb are inventively named after US space progrmme - Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins, Columbia, John Glen, Lunar, Houston, Eagle etc. Best to head to the centre of Dubbo for a feed, or anything.

 

[Baldric]

Olinda - Vic. Nestled up in the Dandenongs. Lots of options for a pie or a Devonshire tea. Popular with tourists on weekends. No rugby up here, nearest rugby would be Maroondah Rugby Club in Croyden. There is an AFL field in neighbouring Kalorama which has a 1:20 gradient.

ALONNAH - TAS

On the leeward side of Bruny Island, its quite a nice place... For Tasmania.
The pub is a good one, with Tooheys Old on tap It does a nice chicken snitty and is slightly trendy.
This place is way better than auburn could ever dream of being.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Hamilton Island - Qld. Soon to be home of the America's Cup. The Yacht Club here is the Challenger of Record for the Next America's Cup. Food and wine choices here depend whether you are "Upstairs" or "Downstairs", with more or less unlimited choice for the "upstairs" guests. Quite far from Auburn on so many different levels.

Dynnyrne, Tas.

The suburb's name is of Scottish origin ()Nollaig chridheil agus bliadhna mhath ùr), and it is a suburb of Hobart.
Dynnyrne is Tasmania's second most affluent suburb.
Nearest pies are at Sandy Bay.

ERUB - FNQ.

Take me there now! Part of the Torres Strait Islands, it is heaven... Also known as Darnley Island, I did realise that some places have 2 names. The best food you eat there will be what you catch. Muddies, Mangrove Jack and Spanish Mack abound. No footy teams but they kick a sherrin around a bit, the poor misguided souls
Three reasons why it is better than auburn.
1. Its not auburn
2. you will never find Muddies this big in auburn EVER!
3. its not crowded like auburn, with only about 300 pop.

Oh... And it also ends in .... B!.....

Bringalily QLD

There is a Hall. With modern convienances........... down the back.
If you want food........ bring some.
If you want rugby....... Don't go there.

YANAC - VIC

Again, the only thing that you can do in Yanac is go shooting Daffy or Daisy or Donald. ( Ducks )
No food no redeeming features except the swamps and empty VB stubbies of mindless morons. I like it more than auburn Oh!!! And it ends in a "C" too

 

[suckerforred]

Cootamundra, NSW - Apparently is the birth place of Sir Don Bradman. Appears to have rugby, pies and beer. Pulled up on the way through returning from christmas to watch a couple of overs of cricket. Also stars in a song.....

@hugh jarse will come over the top with a red card for Cootamundra. Try another @sucker ....

 

[suckerforred]

Why? I searched and it was only mentioned in a post for another town not as the town.......... I think..... I'm sure..... Or has my poor spelling struck again????

I'd let it pass.

Defs is the birthplace of the Don. Also there are some great pies at the bakery, thanks for passing through the Riverina "off the Hume" @suckerforred, the cricket ground is a highlight for travellers.

 

[suckerforred]

It was beautiful!!! Sitting under the trees eating my egg sangas & cherries. Should have checked the score.....

You are on the money @suckerforred. Coota was only previously mentioned in the context of the reference to Illabo (as below), so it is a good reference and does not warrant any cards, red or yellow.

Illabo, produces great lamb. Stages one rugby game a year on the village green, Cootamundra play the mighty Wagga Waratahs. Even Robbie Deans has been spotted in the crowd for that one.

Yellow card has been issued to Come by Chance. It can be used later for another town which ends in "C".

As Cootamundra is the correct weight, the next town is an "A".
