    If only I had the self-confidence of the guy who went to Australia and said “this place is called New South Wales now.”

    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)

      Lake disappointment (contains no water)

      I don’t know, that sounds like a pretty accurate name for a lake without water
