Life in Suggan Buggan

So...I was reading this book by Bill Bryson called Down Under, and came across a list of places, which Bryson says, are all real locations in Australia. Not taking Bryson at his word, I ran searches on a few of them just to confirm. Turns out Bryson's right. How are these for some fantastic names of towns: Wee Waa, Poowong, Burrumbuttock, Suggan Buggan, Boomahnoomoonah, Waaia, Mullumbimby, Ewlyamartup, Jiggalong and Tittybong. I can imagine introducing myself as 'David from Burrumbuttock', or talking about my town, Tittybong, and getting slapped for acting fresh!
