Australian Towns With First Names
How cool would it be to visit a town named after you? Well maybe not exactly after you, but you both share the same name.
Whilst travelling in Australia we have come across two places called Laura, one in South Australia and the other in Queensland.
It is a photo opportunity if nothing else.
Do a quick Google search and see what if you can find a town that shares the same name as you. Have you been there before?
I have started a list below;
Keith - South Australia
Alison - New South Wales
Lucinda - Queensland
Dean - Victoria
Hugh - Northern Territory
Arnold - Victoria
Rosanna - Victoria
Katherine - Western Australia
Bronte - New South Wales
Brandon - Queensland

Have you heard of…
Lake Grace in Western Australia
Emmaville in New South Wales
Roger Corner in South Australia
Scotts Head in New South Wales
Allan’s Flat - Victoria
Anna Bay - NSW
Charlotte Pass - New South Wales
George Town - Tasmania
What about surnames? That’s a whole other can of worms. Though, on that topic, my family did happen to stumble across a town called Woodbury when we were visiting the South Island in New Zealand a few years ago. Who would have known?
How many of the towns above have you been to?
Do you have any more name towns we should add to our list? We would love it if you joined the conversation and left a comment below.
