Synopsis
Here is the definitive listing of Australia's communities: the country's thousands of suburbs, towns and Local Government Areas. The dictionary also covers Australia's External Territories, significant geographical features, places of historical interest, national parks and other heritage areas. From Sandringham to Smithfield and from Bli Bli to Buninyong, authors Richard and Barbara Appleton reveal the places behind the names, and provide much previously unrecorded information.
