Yeh, heard of Wagga Wagga, its a couple of hours drive from us, the locals call it Wogga though which is slightly confusing
nice place though
also like the name Albury Wodonga , nothing overly strange about the name but i think it sounds good
There is also Bobbing Head in Sydneys north shore !!!!!

My husband loves the fact that in Melbourne city, there is a "Batman street" (pronounced Bateman) but when we first arrived he nagged me senseless if we could live there

I'd like to live in Dongdingalong (NSW North Coast).
In the UK (following on from the Batman thread) you could live in Gotham (Notts).
