Aussie Towns Trivia

[Baldric]

Yarralumla - ACT. Home to the sandwich magnet

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Yarralumla, the aforesaid ranga's other digs!

Baldric, Yarralumla has been Red Carded. Lindommer got there first.
"Y" remains the lead letter for the next town.

Yass, NSW - You know the place, there's a Macca's and a KFC there. Well, almost, they're at the service centre off the highway. It's bloody cold at Yass in winter, always hated getting out of the car there as a kid.

 

[Gristlechewer]

I can't believe this but...

STANMORE - NSW.

There are three good things about stanmore, being...
1. Leaving it
2. The nudie bar just up from a school there
3. It has helped alleviate the amount of hipsters hanging around Enmore and Newtown... Sort of a pov Erskineville.
They don't have pies in stanmore

 

[Aussie D]

Erindale. Famous for its rugby school that has produced Wallabies Gregan, Giteau and Stuart.
There is also a suburb of Adelaide with the same name.

 

[Gristlechewer]

ELECTRA - QLD

Named after the bad actress with pnuematic enhancement, Electra is right near Bundy in Queensland on the Gin Gin Road it is a wonderful little blink and you missed it whistle stop if your are heading for FNQ. As far as Carmen Electra, she went looking for Wondah Knob, which is about another 20k's up the road.
Nicer than Auburn

 

[Sully]

Aramac on the Aramac River north of Barcaldine. May occasionally flood.

 

[Baldric]

Carnegie - Vic. A suburb of Melbourne. Home of the lesser known Carnegie Hall. Full pie services available here.

 

[Unders Line]

Eugowra, NSW - Famous for stagecoach hold ups on route from gold fields.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Eugowra - I know nothing about Eugowra.

Eugowra, NSW, in the no man's land in the Central West competition as has no rugby club so a local has to choose between Cowra, Parkes, Forbes and Orange rugby union teams to play for unless he's into league!

The entry of Eugowra from Unders Line has been Red Carded - Already used.

Next town is a "E" start from Carnegie

EAST MOONTA - SA.

As the name says,just east of Moonta Bay on the Spencer Gulf. There is a really good little burger fish and chip shop there that sells "potato cakes" and "scallops" . Buggered me for at least an hour so I went with the works burger and chips. Worth it. The Spencer Gulf is home to a lot of really wealthy fisho's and bogans. Usually being one and the same. Also some reallllllyyyy big sharks. You can keep heading through East Moonta and end up in Whyalla.

Aldinga Beach-Also SA

50k's+/- south of Adelaide, St. Vincents Gulf, sand so hard you drive straight onto the beach, mainly used for accommodation for the 1986 SLS national titles, held just north at Moana beach (same beach, think Manly, Steyne and Queenscliff.) No surf, plenty of Coopers Stout. Also coincided with the last pass of Halley's comet

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Off topic, but I reckon that Gaggers should make a mission to at least get one photo of themselves in Tittybong before they die. Bugger world cups and climbing Everest . This is good shit.

And the fun police roll on relentlessly.

This from the SMH yesterday

"As a descriptor of the local landscape, Titswobble Road at Tuncurry leaves no doubt as to the rocky terrain. But as state's road naming policy is overhauled, its days may be numbered."

[yourmatesam]

Howlong - West of Albury and the first question every kid asks when they get in the car for a long road trip.

 

[Nusadan]

Golden Beach QLD, another locality in Sunshine Coast, pretty much a part of Caloundra, and if my memory serves me right, that's where the Wallabies have their camps in the north of Brisbane, if not now.

 

[Lindommer]

No pie reports on the last four towns, you lot really must try harder.

 

[ChargerWA]

Hopetoun - A small town on the south coast of WA between Albany and Esperance. Formerly a fishing village, it has been overrun with rich cockies from all around buying holiday homes and house prices are through the roof.

As an aside, I lived there for 6 months building accommodation for the nearby Ravensthorpe mine. The local Cafe only opens odd hours and I can't recall their pies, so they were obviously only average.

 

[topo]

Niangala, at the top of the Port Stephens cutting. Where Malcolm Naden had a pot shot at a copper. You could make a nice pie from the fruits of the berry farm there.

 

[Gristlechewer]

AGNES WATERS - QLD

Supposedly the most northern town on the mainland where you can surf. The great barrier reef gets in the way after that. The sister town is 1770 so this will never get mentioned because I already mentioned Number One. The bakery here is awesome!!! Really nice pies and fresh cream apple turnovers The Mango tree motel has a really nice cafe restaurant that makes a burger that will get you all the way to Townsville. If it didn't have so may bloody Victorians there, it would be heaven on earth. Needless to say it is not only nicer than Auburn, it makes you realise that selective nuclear testing should be done... On Auburn

 

[Aussie D]

South Tacoma - On the southern side of Wyong River. Nothing there, not even a pie shop.
