I got 98 problems, and being attractive could probably solve at least 30 of them.

Yes there is, in New South Wales! It goes west from Sydney to Bathurst. The Great Eastern Highway goes east from Perth to Kalgoorlie.

Some people really let their imaginations run riot when coming up with names.

Like the Vasse highway in Western Australia which doesn't go to or from the township of Vasse.

Was it meant to and they missed the way?

I’m not sure if I’m hungry, but I’m gonna eat anyway, just in case.

It's derived from an Aboriginal word, as many names in Australia are. Quite surprising really when you consider the dreadful way in which the indigenous people were treated by the settlers, almost without exception.

And here was me thinking it was another way to pronounce Calgary!

It's a slow walk up the road to Kikakanalong and Rippabagapart where it's rumoured they hid buried gold in hessian sacks.
