I Love Australia

I do love Australia, but whoever came up with the name of this country town must have been drinking.


Pronounced Nah Nah Goon for my fellow Americans.

From Wikipedia...

[quote]The village is especially popular with British tourists; as a local tour guide explained: "The Germans all want to see Mozart's house in Salzburg; the Americans want to see where The Sound of Music was filmed; the Japanese want Hitler's birthplace in Braunau; but for the British, it's all about Fucking." Augustina Lindlbauer, the manager of an area guesthouse, noted that the area had lakes, forests, and vistas worth visiting, but there was an "obsession with Fucking". Lindlbauer recalled how she had to explain to a British female tourist "that there were no Fucking postcards."[/quote]

🤣

I'm glad my fellow Brits showing our national obsession!
