Australian electoral divisions with Canadian names

I've been half-meaning to try British constituencies with Australian type names for a while now (essentially an excuse to unload yet more meaningless trivia onto this small corner of the internets).

Anyways, with regards to renaming Aussie divisions, you might want to check local government areas and state electoral divisions, at least as a starting point. This could be useful as well, maybe.

Except a lot of Australian riding names are essentially completely random.

Well, quite. What I was thinking of doing was listing possibilities, including throwing in a few completely random ones...

Will a river do?

Then about the only unifying name would be that of a river (the Avon), unless 'ghastly outer Perth sprawlburbia' counts (and I'm sure it doesn't).

Yeah; harsh gerrymandering makes this impossible. Don't try.

What's being alluded to here is the fact that in the early days of the forum (like a decade or so ago now) several of us did in fact try. Drove us all completely mad.
