Aussie Towns Trivia

[Baldric]

Snowtown - SA. Famous for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

North Coogee WA. No idea where East Coogee or West Coogee is but with South Coogee in Sydney, Coogee must be a bloody big place.

 

[Baldric]

Eumemmerring - Vic. A suburb of Melbourne. Not the place to live if you need to get a taxi after a night on the drink.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

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. Jim Wild, while not native to Greenwell Point, is a well known oyster farmer there, who was World Champion Oyster Shucker at one time. Bloody strong hands too!

(Recycled from a previous Yellow Card.)

 

[Nusadan]

Tewantin - across the bridge from Noosa Heads/Ville in the Sunshine Coast and on way to the Hinterland

(HJ, let's make it a stipulation that no more place names beginning with 'e' from now on, eh? It seems to be getting harder to find a place beginning with 'e')

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Nusadan, that is half the challenge.

Don't give up so easily. I reckon that there are a stack of E towns left undiscovered.

There are plenty of places starting with C, W and F, but not too many places ending in that as a "seed" for those towns.

 

[Baldric]

Nhill - Vic. Halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide, or as we say down here, halfway to nowhere

 

[boyo]

North Coogee WA. No idea where East Coogee or West Coogee is but with South Coogee in Sydney, Coogee must be a bloody big place.

Hugh, East Coogee and West Coogee are both probably in the water.

 

[Nusadan]

Lane Cove West, where the Lane Cove rugby team is based.

(So no 'e' at the end, HJ, )

Tullibigeal, NSW - A long way from anywhere and one third of the Tullibigeal Lakes United (TLU) Rugby League Club.

 

[Aussie D]

Laurieton - town in Tasmania from memory.

 

[Lindommer]

Isn't Laurieton up near Port Macquarie? Or are there two of 'em?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

I'm with Lindommer, as is google and the Postcode guide.
There is a Lauriston in Victoria. Perhaps the Tassie reference is to Launceston (Starts with "Lau" and finishes in "ton")

Regardless Laurieton is it. next town is a "N"

Greatbplace to live... Just ask Malcolm Naden, he lived there for a fair while. The only petrol station twixt Gloucester and Walcha I think

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Cardiff Light Industrial suburb of Newcastle. Home of the Iron Horse Pub and Darbies Pies.

(Good Lead in Gristlechewer - C is a tricky end letter, as if F.)
