Same state cases: In SA we have two Kingstons and two Stirlings, but we use suffixes to tell them apart (Kingston-on-Murray cf. Kingston SE; Stirling cf. Stirling N -- the latter is not just a normal "just North of" modifier, Stirling N is in a completely different part of the state to Stirling). Different state cases: I remember hearing many years ago that Holden decided to call their Australian models Kingswood & Belmont because they were the only two town/suburb names that occurred in every Australian state. Not sure whether this is apocryphal or not, but I do recall coming across places with those names in at least three different states. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
