Suburbs with the same name in different cities.

[the fly]

Wickham is a Pilbara town.

It is also a suburb of Newcastle.

Both I believe are shitholes.

The Wickham Park Hotel is awesome, but that is in Islington.

Behold the lovely town of St Albans, United Kingdom on the northern outskirts of London

and the Victorian version:

St Albans (Vic) looks okay here, like one of those classic 80s-feeling milk bar strips with a safe feel. A bunch of s**t roads and half lived in houses would be a better representation.

North Shore in Geelong.
North Shore in Sydney.

They are... quite the opposite.

St Albans is far from safe!

St Albans is far from safe!

That's my point, his photo didn't illustrate the place well.

Oh right, completely misunderstood, sorry!

Brighton in Melbourne is rich people. I think the Perth Brighton is just full of unremarkable poms. Actually I don't believe that's the suburb's real name just what developer *os call it.

 

[ioppolo]

Yeah Brighton ain't a suburb here

 

[FootyJunkie]

There's a suburb called Kensington in all the 5 mainland capitals, all have quite similar characteristics.

I grew up in Mount Barker (SA) and then moved to a small town in WA that happened to be about an hour away from Mount Barker (WA).

 

[Cruyff14]

There is a Hawthorn in both SA and Vic.

Toorak Gardens in SA, Toorak in Vic.

 

[Mofra]

There's a very unremarkable town called Lismore in western Victoria, obviously shares it's name with the much more well known and larger NSW town.

 

[peternorth]

Melbourne in Melbourne.
Melbourne in FLorida

 

[Catfish Alley]

Tons of examples like that. Athens in Georgia, Lebanon in Alabama etc.

British names like Surrey, Richmond, Hawthorn, Brighton etc are all over the Commonwealth/USA.

Sydney is in Nova Scotia. I remember a story where some Europeans landed and thought it was a quick flight to the 2000 Olympic Games.

 

[Gough]

Melbourne in Melbourne.
Melbourne in FLorida

There's a Naples in Florida too.

 

[Catfish Alley]

There's a Naples in Florida too.

And St. Petersburg.

 

[peternorth]

[Catfish Alley]

There is also a Vancouver just over the border in Washington. I had somebody post something for work there accidentally once.

 

[Cruyff14]

Armadale in Melbourne and Perth. Armidale in Sydney.

 

[the fly]

Armadale in Melbourne and Perth. Armidale in Sydney.

Armidale in Sydney? That's like saying Bendigo is in Melbourne.
