What about 1770, it's not even a name just a number. The number is relevant though.

Never cease to get an odd expression when I mention Muckelford Victoria. For the life of me I cannot understand why, as it is a reasonable sounding name right? Not like Kangi Angy or Tumbi Umbi NSW. lol
dawg (but then there is a very strange place called Texas in Qld - now that is odd)

Helen there is NO need to apologise to anyone here or anywhere for anything you do unintentionally. We all know you are a crappy speller but you are a much nicer person than some A holes around the place , so be cool you old boring bag
JOKE everyone, Helen knows me all too well.

If you think we have strange place names in Oz, you might want to check out Pommyland - via 'Escape to the Country' on the TV - now some of them are totally weird, but funny.
