My suburb is Waitara in the northern parts of Sydney, and the nearest suburb sign is about 1 block up the road. One block the other side is Waitara Avenue that runs north from the railway station. On one side is the local Mark Taylor oval, that seems to have been quite busy during the pandemic crisis with people walking around it for exercise. On the other side are many newish blocks of units that seem to be taking over the area. Thanks Doodle Bug Oz.
BALDIVIS, our home suburb since 2014
From Wikipedia:
Baldivis is a semi-rural residential suburb 46 kilometres (29 mi) south of the central business district of Perth, the capital of Western Australia, and 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) southeast of the regional centre of Rockingham. It is located with the City of Rockingham local government area.
Housing estates in the suburb include Tuart Ridge, Settlers Hills, Settlers Townside, The Rivergums, Baldivis Central, Baldivis North, The Chimes, Brightwood, Evermore Heights, The Ridge, The Chase, Highbury Park, Heritage Park, The Dales, Avalon, Woodleigh Grove, Sherwood and Parkland Heights.
The name of Baldivis was thought up by settlers in the area who were attracted to the region by the 1920s Group Settlement Scheme. The name derives from three ships which travelled to Western Australia in 1922, all within six weeks of each other, bring settlers under the scheme. They were named BALranald, DIogenes and the JerVIS Bay. It was the maiden voyage for all three ships and they were all built in the same shipyard in the same year.

Hi Doodle Bug
Ranelagh is a small hamlet just north west of Huonville in Tasmania.
The Ranelagh Oval is the home of the Huon Agricultural Society's Show, to be held there tomorrow.
Once, an area rich in apple orchards and hop fields; generally now, a residential area with a limited amount of hop fields now.
The show ground is also home to the local cricket team.
Ranelagh Street is located at S43 00.472;E147 02.392, where the above co-ordinates are for the village sign; only a 'few' metres apart.
TFTC and cheers

Leura Mall and Leura, NSW
This is my adopted home town, in the Blue Mountains of NSW, and its most famous street, Leura Mall, has the same name as the town itself.
'Leura' is supposed to mean 'lava' in an Aboriginal language, but this is a bit of a puzzle, because there are no known volcanos in the area!
Maybe it means something else . . .
I'll attach two photographs, as requested by the CO.

Millner - in Darwin's northern suburbs has a pair that I spotted....
Spotted a pair in the Darwin suburb of Leanyer ...
Intersection of Acton Road and Acton Drive. Acton Court meets Acton Drive a little way up the hill.
Acton Park is a rural suburb of Hobart and is in the City of Clarence local government area. Its 2006 population was 2,129. In 2011 there were 2166 people living in Acton Park.
Acton Park is bounded to the east by the southern portion of the Meehan Range to the south by Ralph's Bay and to the east, Roches Beach, Single Hill and Seven Mile Beach. It is one of the more sought after living locations due to its easy commuting distance to Hobart, and because of the semi rural character of the suburb itself.

Uralla Street, Uralla
Uralla Street's not a long street and not in the main part of town so not really sure why it got the honour. There's also a house in Uralla called Allaru (Uralla backwards) and a ute with Uralla number plates. The Ural Motorcycles Australia business is located just out of Uralla. We read it came to this location just for the name connection.

Don is a western suburb of Devonport and, not surprisingly, Don Road leads to Don from central Devonport. The photo added to the Gallery is a composite image showing the sign at western entrance to Don and a Don Road sign at the eastern entrance. The coordinates are for the Don Road sign. Don was one of the first settlements in North West Tasmania as it had a small but navigable river. However over a short period of time, timber exports increased significantly which led to the Mersey River at Formby and Torquay being opened up to shipping. The twin settlements of Formby and Torquay were combined to become Devonport and the latter expanded quickly and over time, Don became a suburb of Devonport. Thanks for the cache Doodle Bug Oz.
