Dorking, a town in southeast England (I always hope the entire population aren't dorks!)

There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

Gilgandra, NSW, Australia. Where the 1915 Cooee March started from. This was a recruiting march over 515 km which started with 25 men & reached Sydney with 263 men. Gilgal means "waterhole" & in the Wiraduri language may mean "long waterhole".

I've been there quite a few times and I can confirm they're not. Not all of them, anyway. Grin

Middle Wallop, Hampshire, England. Supposedly the site of a battle between Vitalinus (Vortigern?) & Aurelius Ambrosius, is it possible that nobody got wallop-ed?

Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The site of Australia's best known gold mine. According to the Internet, it is accepted that Kalgoorlie probably comes from a Wangkathaa Aboriginal word "karlkurlah" meaning 'silky pear', a plant common to the area.
