Aussie landmarks appearing as Second Life locations

Whilst looking for a location for SLOz’s new in-world location, I came across sims with the names of Boggabri and Toowoomba. Neither looked much like their counterparts of course, but I’m wondering what the impetus is for those names being selected…

  • Hey Orion,

    Good to hear from you - I'm based in Southern Sydney so know that area well too ;-)

    Actually there are a bunch of Aussie names in SL. There are some regions and a whole host of last names that come from towns between Sydney and Wollongong. So, if you see anyone with the last names...Fairy Meadow, Bellambi, Coniston, Thouroul etc - these are all towns south of the National Park in Sydney. I live in Sydney today, but was born in Wollongong...

    The same impetus that had places like Perth and Woollahra being selected, mate. Linden has always had a tradition of using names taken from RL people and places of great importance.
