Pitt Town

Is there any other street name in Sydney which combines two suburb names like this one in Pitt Town?

Potts Point

Negotiate this entrance to a garage at the Hughes Place rear of Wayside Chapel, Potts Point, and you’ll never complain about your driveway again.

Queens Park

This is where Bourke Lane intersects with Bourke Lane. Yes, Bourke Lane (east to west) intersects with another Bourke Lane going north to south. If that’s not enough for you, there’s yet another, third, Bourke Lane, parallel to and just 70 metres from the north-south Bourke Lane. Still not satisfied? Then Bourke Street is only another 70 metres away. Who would be a postie in Queens Park?

Raby

How did the widowed cannibal feel about his nagging wife, the Roman soldier?
A Raby street has the answer.

Randwick

Randwick can boast that only one other street in Sydney (Aeolus Avenue, Ryde), has a name beginning with three vowels. But Randwick's street has a record five vowels to only one consonant.

Rhodes

It's difficult to counteract this claim by Lewis Avenue, Rhodes.

Rooty Hill

What's the name of the street you live in?
Yes.
No, the name of your street?
Watt.
I said, the name of your street.
Yes, Watt.
Don't worry. Just give me the name of your suburb.
Rooty Hill.
I think you need to change your medication.

Roseville

Options for your response to our Roseville address:
Really?
It must be someone's idea of a joke!
I feel so sorry for you!
Will they change the name for you?

Rossmore

Obey the speed limit and keep left in case you meet a car coming the opposite direction in Rossmore Avenue West, Rossmore.

Rozelle

Why have a sign pointing to Elle Street when there's no Elle Street in Rozelle, or in Sydney even? The nearest Elle Street appears to be in a Brisbane suburb, Cashmere, so following the sign will be rather long walking today. There is an Ellen Street in Rozelle though. Oh, I understand now. It's not pointing to Ellen or Elle Street. The name is Toelle Street.
