Maybe I've been brainwashed by the adverts but there may be one up this way as well... .

The Aussies like the word lake.

The Bloke

Forest Lake is near Springfield Lakes which is near Darra, Wacol and Inala.
Me thinks you are thinking of North Lakes (more commonly referred to as Legoland).

annqldau

Nope there is some sort of lakes up at Narangbah in the new housing bit. But like I said you Aussie types like to stick the word pine or lake in to make these new housing estates sound posh... .

The Bloke

Yep, and it works. Just look at North Lakes.

annqldau

I try not to prefer to look at the mountains or the sea... .

Pollyana

While I was working for the office that puts together the maps for use by the 000 despatchers, I was involved in a meeting discussing naming of some new areas out near Ipswich. The guys I worked with were pleading for some original names, as that makes it so much easier for the despatchers to locate the callers - suggestions included names of English/Welsh cities and towns. The council guys though said they wanted to stick to calling everything "lake" "forest" "spring....." and that kind of thing, because they create an instant picturesque image when you hear them and thus people are attracted to living there just because they like the sound of the address So if you live somewhere called for example Lake Drive, I suggest if you call 000 you are ready to give them directions!

Well should call more of them Vegas, Hollywood, Mayfair, Park Lane etc. ... .

[QUOTE=steve]Well should call more of them Vegas lake, Hollywood lake, Mayfair lake, Park Lane lake etc. your forgeting the shopping trolley free lake below :scared:

annqldau

[QUOTE=wintersgills] We could have a variation, Pine Vegas, Hollywood Springs, Park Lane Lakes and Mayfair Pines.

Australia are lagging behind actually and just not fully embracing the shopping trolley tend to leave them neatly parked at the road side. Sure they could join the British in more creative disposal.
