Can the S.A. (South Oz) crew help us out with the correct way to say "Chiton Rocks" ???

Surely you guys say it like;
"Chi" must be like first part of "Chicken"
and not the soft "ch";
"Shi"ton Rocks....

Either way, it must be high on the list of Aussie Localities needing a name change !!

ki-ton rox :-)

Not locals, but some interesting place names:

Boing Boing
Burrumbuttock
Cock Wash
Come By Chance
Doo Town
Goonoo Goonoo
Humpybong
Innaloo
Mount Buggery
Nowhere Else
Ozenkadnook
Rooty Hill
Upotipotpon
Wonglepong
Yorkeys Knob
Tittybong
Tom Ugly

Thanks everyone !!

Kite-on Rocks !! Next trip, I'll try and get past Robe and The Koorong.... And now I won't be as embarrassed when I try and talk to any locals !!

It had been puzzling me for a little while now !!

Russh, I wasn't taking the p!ss !! I was curious....

Your listed locals aren't my locals....

The local odd balls I like are;

Winki-Pop
Suck Rock
Bancoora
Suck-Up (Nth Av Syd, old local)
Tootgarook
Toongabbie
and
Kardinia Park, not Moorabin or Modialloc

Simondo - Please don't ever take me seriously - my posts are always tongue in cheek we have always called it sh!ton rocks

theres nothing like poking a bit of fun at each other cause we all know our states are just that bit better than each others



Chiton use to have the best new years eve parties - ahh the memories

The best one ever has to be poo-wong

What about Weerite

We currently live in Mentone, which is just between Mordialloc and Moorabbin. We are moving to Torquay, near Jan Juc and just past Geelong by the end of this year. Tooraddin isn't far from here, we go past it on the way to Kilcunda, and when you say Tooraddin backwards it says Niddaroot.

I have found our town names hilarious since I was real little, this guy summed it up brilliantly a few years back, remember this??

Austin Tayshus...
Sittin' at home last Sunday mornin' me mate Boomerrang Said he was havin' a few people around for a barbie, Said he might Kookaburra or two.

I said, "Sounds great, will Wallaby there?"

He said "Yeah and Vegemite come too".

So I said to the wife "Do you wanna Goanna?". She said "I'll go if Dingos".

So I said "Wattle we do about Nulla?"

He said "Nullabors me to tears, leave him at home."
