Come and live in Wales with us! There are some great place names which English speakers can't get their tongues around let alone spell. LOL.

I said we needed to live somewhere Aussie sounding. We're in Clarkson. The only place I wouldn't live is Innaloo. Just say it. "Where do you live?" "Innaloo".

Alot of places in Perth have English names, such as, Scarborough, Morley..

But i have to agree, alot of names here in OZ are unpronouncable nevermind trying to spell them
