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

• Ross - Tasmania

• Linda - Tasmania

• Kerry - Queensland

• Bruce - ACT and South Australia

• Alisa - Victoria

• Malcolm - Western Australia

• Kimberley - Tasmania

• Lachlan - Tasmania

• Mitchell - ACT and Queensland

• Joanna - South Australia

• Don - Tasmania

• Donald - Victoria

• Elizabeth - South Australia

• Gordan - ACT, New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria

• Lara - Victoria

• Alice - New South Wales, Queensland

• Albert - New South Wales

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.
