Thread: Interesting Creek Names.

There's Rellimeiggam Creek near Murrindindi in Vic. Read it backwards...

Then at Springurst, Vic, there are Diddah Diddah and Daddah Daddah creeks which you used to cross on the old Hume Highway, but the Hume Freeway doesn't cross Daddah Daddah.

I'm afraid that there are no very interesting creeks round here - Spring, Boomley, Sally's, Jones', Elong and, of course, Sandy. And a bit further away, Flyblowers Creek (probably referring to an old piece of equipment used in alluvial gold prospecting where there is a water shortage). But I think of the history encapsulated in some of the areas I have worked in Qld with Attack, Murder, Bony Creeks.

I often take the dog for a run down at Scrubby ck,which is not far from here.
Oh,and a very original name..

I've seen a few wierd creek names in my travels. Two that come to mind are Dry Creek and Deadmans Creek.

YMy Dad’s father was a part time surveyor/ bushman/ farmer/horseman ,and on his sojourns into the bush south west of Montumana, he named a creek after the last cup winner .


So now we have Newhaven.

Someone needs to pull their finger out and name one **** creek. Boating optional.

I get a chuckle driving the New Oxley Hwy and seeing Onus creek. Almost always with graffiti turning the capital O into a lower case 'a'.

Well not only is it a TV show, but supposedly a real town in Canada Schitt's Creek (town) | Schitt's Creek Wiki | Fandom, actually that is all made up, but if you want to visit the place it is filmed you can, Where Is the Real 'Schitt's Creek'? What Goodwood, Canada, Is Like (insider.com)
