    There's a few on the way from Melbourne to Bathurst, there's a town called Barry and another called Woodstock..

    there's some really wierd town names around the world...
    the council in a town called "F*cking" (you know what it is) has actually asked tourists to stop stealing the signs....
    there's also a town called "whykickamoocow" out west in QLD (I think). not sure of the spelling, but you get the drift.
    there's "Hell" somewhere, US I think
    and "C#nt" somewhere too.
    could probly find quite a few, but i'm lazy
