Weary was famous for a lot of things from his military and civil life but he is the only Victorian inductee in the ARU Hall of Fame (so far - watch this space for E McK). Two Test veteran who first played for the Wobs in 1932. Wob Number 280. http://www.rugby.com.au/wallabies/TheTeam/WallabyHallofFame.aspx
Are you sure this is a town, HJ?
Pretty confident it qualifies. Wikipedia (it is never wrong is it?) says is it a ski resort village albeit that "It is primarily a winter-only resort village".
More info on Roy and HG Winter Olympic Bid for Smiggin Holes here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiggin_Holes_2010_Winter_Olympic_bid
Anyhow you started it with your reference to Rampaging Roy Slaven and Lithgow a page or two back!
As it Starts and Finishes with an "S", it matters little if the TMO upholds your challenge.
Strathfield - Dunlop still stand regardless. Next Town is a "P"

Yackandandah. A small north Victorian town only famous because a mate of mine from College came from a property nearby. They also filmed "Strange Bedfellows" here.
PS. Lindommer, nothing wrong with reference to Rampaging Roy, just that your reference to him was a catalyst for me to get a reference to the Smiggin Holes Winter Olympic Bid. Rumnour has it that HG Nelson is being groomed to be the next NSW State Governor after the next Prof Bashir term.

Younghusband - Little more than a caravan park on the Murray in SA (with a postcode SA 5328).
We needed a SA location in honour of the State of Origin of our future Governor.
Croweater - Meh, in NSW we embrace all, and even foreigners can rise to become State Governor.

Dalgety, NSW - a tiny town not far from Jindabyne.
Believe it or not, Dalgety was mooted as the location for the national capital before it was decided that it was too close to Melbourne relative to Sydney and Canberrra was chosen instead.

I hope that someone has done Yorkeys Knob... I am not going there.
Yallingup - favourite surf break for all the boys from all teams that surf. Has a wonderful rep with the Sharks boys that surf plus Matty Hodgson from the force. Also it is next door to Margaret River so the visit to Cape Mentelle/Vasse Felix make it just that little more worthwhile. Real sharks can be a small issue though :/

Poowong - This South Gippsland town is known more for the unusual nature of its name than anything else. Can you imagine barracking for this town in the footy??
(Yorkeys Knob has already been done (Joining Albury and Betoota. Good self regulation.)

Glen Innes, NSW - In the Northern Tablelands, the area is well known for farming and sapphires.
It also ends in S which we haven't had too many of.

Sorrento- a great place to go for a swim. (Only the oldies will get this)
That's more Portsea than Sorrento isn't it (assuming you're alluding to Cheviot Beach).
Oberon, NSW - on the western side of the Blue Mountains. It is actually the birthplace of the Male Model from Mudgee, Ken Sutcliffe.

Its sort of like alburynwodonga cobram barooga, tweed coolongatta... PLUS it was the first S town that came to mind...
Kangaroo Ground, VIC. It is a small town north east of the Melbourne CBD.
I know nothing about it except it ends in D and we haven't had many Ds.

Emerald - a mining town in the Queensland gemfields. About 300 km inland from Rocky, I "mined" some sapphires and a ruby from Emerald. The nearby Fairbairn dam is bigger then Sydney Harbour.
