Description
This is a locationless cache, which can be logged by anyone from around the world.
Find a business or a place with a double name and take a photo of the sign showing the name, with your gpsr visible in the photo. You can include one or more cachers in the photo if you wish, but it's not essential, UNLESS you can't include your gpsr in the photo.
Please include the double name in your log as well as in the photo.
This photo was taken on the last day of our 2010 Climatic Refugee trip, on Great Eastern Highway Just outside Midland, and would have been used for a similar cache which unfortunately was archived before we got home.
If your camera is your phone and your gpsr or whatever, and you can't make "your gpsr visible in the photo", then you need to shoot past yourself so that YOU are in the photo. Sometimes it takes two or three or even more attempts to get a good photo that way, but YOU'RE NOT USING FILM, IT DOESN'T MATTER, keep going until you get an acceptable one. It gets easier with practise.
If that's too hard, lash out on a CAMERA. My latest one cost less than $50 from Harvey Norman, only has 12 meg and 5 times optical zoom, but is WAY MORE THAN ADEQUATE. If that's still too hard, I refer you to the Ignore option.
If you think you've seen this one before, maybe you have. Someone published a cache named "Getting Ridiculous: new locationless ideas!" and before anyone else could come up with a more ridiculour cache declared that locationless caches were getting ridiculous, and archived his caches in protest.

Walla Walla in the Eastern Riverina in NSW. First settled in the 1850's by German settlers who had made the journey across from South Australia. They spread themselves out around the district and building a number of successful villages and towns and a vibrant farming community. Jindera, Henty. Walbundrie, Pleasant Hills to name some.
Wangi Wangi, NSW
We are enjoying an (almost) sunny day after a pretty sold rain event by checking out some trig points around Lake Macquarie.
We drove around for a while looking for a Welcome to Wangi Wangi sign but couldn't find one so we settled for the local primary school.
Thanks for the locationless scavenger hunt!

Just gotta love this one. It is on the Matilda Hwy between Normanton and Cloncurry.
The other side of the sign reads: Might as well crack a coldie as you're going nowhere fast.
And how true is that. This is a long stretch of road broken only by the Burke and Wills Roadhouse.
Thanks.

I have been driving on this road for over 40 years and this creek has a unique name. BUM BUM Creek. Where it originated I do not know. Every time the Creek Name sign was replaced it disappeared within days. Same goes for the adjacent Bum Bum Creek road sign. In March of this year the road and bridge alignment were altered and the new bridge over this creek has new signs. They have remained in place for 6 months so there is hope they will remain thanks mainly to the new technology of the attachment to the posts. TFTC

GOONOO GOONOO ROAD
(Pronounced Gunna Goonoo) On our way to an auction sale, spotted this sign and quickly took a photo .. so quick that getting ourselves or the gps in the photo was forgotten (your call if this should be a note). Great idea for a cache, thanks WanAus.

How could one find a more appropriate example of Naming It Twice? Not only is the business name repeated, but the item upon which the name appears is (one of) my GPS devices! I think this one deserves two green ticks!
The photo was taken whilst sitting in my car on the ferry that travels between mainland Tasmania and Bruny Island.

Found at Constitution Dock in Hobart.

EDITED ON 15/7/2012 @ 22:12 from a find to a DNF due to the following message from the owner
"You don't seem to understand the rules for this cache.
They only named it Sailability. They did not name it or register it as SailabilitySailability. The name is displayed twice. It doesn't qualify.
By your reckoning, you could also claim Subway, Coles, Woolworths, Dominos and heaps of other places where they display their name more than once."
Sorry Wandering Aus for not understanding the description

Great Western Highway
Wentworth Falls, NSW
This used to be our favourite pizza place -- great pizza and lasagne and very close to home.
But then it burned down one night!
Last week the refurbishment was finally complete, and the owners held a 'Grand Open' festival. Of course, we attended . . .

Bong Bong St in Kiama NSW is in the centreal area of town. It starts at the sporting field on the headland and moves inland past the Grand Hotel (really yummy meals to be had here), railway station (regular trains south to Berry and north to Wollongong and Sydney) and then on up into the residential area.

Today was the fourth day of our excursion out of Tasmania touring from Melbourne to Canberra and return via Gippsland. We visited a number of towns and areas today between Bairnsdale and Cann River and we were lucky enough to find some caches along the way. Again it was overcast at times with some very infrequent showers, we have had another excellent day. We were driving from Lakes Entrance to Cann River when we came across the small town of Nowa Nowa. Yes, it was a nice little town but we are not sure that they named it twice for it being a nice area. A photo of the "Welcome to Nowa Nowa" sign has been adde to the Gallery. TFTC

I have seen this word a few times in my journey to find a lot of caches today. The signs are on the Mount Lindsay Road between Stanthorpe and Tenterfield. Have no idea what a boonoo boonoo is or what it means in aboriginal. Will claim this one before one of the locals realises that it has not been photgraphed up till now.
