List of locations in Australia with an English name

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Locations in Australia with an English name is a list of Australian place names that were originally place names in England later applied in Australia by English emigrants and explorers. It also includes place names where there is a similar place name in England, even if one is not directly derived from the other. For example, Oxley is a place name in England, but Oxley, Queensland is named for the explorer John Oxley rather than the English place. Similarly, Kenilworth is a place name in England, but Kenilworth, Queensland is reportedly named after a novel of that name. In some cases the place name in England is that of a residence or farm, rather than a locality; for example, Hughenden, Queensland is derived from Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire.
