Bob, I love Binnaway, it's a great little town. I didn't realise you were from there. And it has a great overnight stop too.

She most likely did George so if she comes back and confirms I shall fix it for her. :D

Boonoo Boonoo (near Qld/NSW border - pronounced 'BUNNY B'noo'!
Then there's Goonoo Goonoo (Near Tamworth, pronounced the same way)
And Gunyerwaraldi (near Moree, pron: 'GUNNY-worral-dye'!)
NSW has Come-By-Chance and Vic has Who'd-a-Thought-It.
And in Tas, you can visit NOWHERE ELSE!

Hmmm
I've been repeating myself.
Please ignore this post.
:D
But if you're looking for PC taken to extremes, in the Flinders Ranges National Park you can drive across a creek signposted "No-Name Creek" :?: :?:
My road atlas identifies it as "Blackfella's Creek"... :roll: :roll:

Managatang in Vic always gets a laugh out of Margaret, but they have a great rest area with shower and toilet and a great pub across the road.

An elderly aboriginal lady drowned in a waterhole not far from Bordertown & Wolseley many many years ago.
Her surname was Goric. She was a Gin. (female name for Lady)
The swamp where she drowned is now called Pooginagoric. (poor gin goric)

Used to be a very good yabby spot until some idiot drained it to get a couple more acres of farmland.
