WE thought we'd dug up Australia's most suggestive, or just plain odd, place names in our recent Society column, "You live where?" (Nov 17-18).

Could anything top Fistula St (Qld) or Mt Buggery (Vic)? Not to be outdone by the UK, which specialises in double entendre names like Tickle Cock Bridge, we asked readers to nominate their own. Your letters are in and we can report that there are Bogan streets (NSW and Vic) and a Bogan Road (SA), there's Innaloo (WA), Callitris Crescent (Qld), Mywee (Vic and Qld), Diapur (Vic), Foul Bay (SA), Doo Town (Tas), Burrumbuttock and Watanobbi (NSW). Single female readers in SA could head to Mount Younghusband and then visit Horny Point, Point Fanny and Shag Cove. After all that, it's off to Hangover Bay (WA).
