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)

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

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
  • Snowy Mountains

They'd probably go with Sandy Sandy Desert.

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

[–] psud@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We did indeed. The Harold Holt memorial pool

Lake disappointment (contains no water)

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

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

  • Greater shark Bay
  • Lesser shark Bay
  • Disappointment shark Bay ( no sharks)

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago
