People naming things in Australia:

  • Townsville
  • Western Australia
  • Shark bay
  • Great Sandy Desert
  • Little Sandy Desert
  • Snowy Mountains

But you also have wildcards:

  • Tasmania (not actually a mental illness)
  • Monkey Mia (There are no monkeys, and nobody named Mia)
  • Lake disappointment (contains no water)
  • Blue mountains (they are mostly green)
  • King Island (we don't recognise its claim to the throne)

Lake disappointment (contains no water)

I don't know, that sounds like a pretty accurate name for a lake without water

  • Shark bay
  • Great Sandy Desert
  • Little Sandy Desert

They'd probably go with Sandy Sandy Desert.

Lake disappointment (contains no water)

Well, that would be very disappointing if your lake had no water. So I think they nailed that one.

Didn't you cunts also name a swimming pool after your prime minister who died swimming in the ocean?

[-] psud@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

We did indeed. The Harold Holt memorial pool

What's wrong with Shark Bay? I'd name every second bay I find, Shark Bay.

  • Greater shark Bay

Tbf the blue mountains are blue from the right distance in the right weather, like most temperate Australian mountains
