User:Cassowary/duplicate place names

The following places are in Victoria and have ambiguous place names. I have excluded all cases that are simply shared, but some are shared and duplicated. In one case, the name is triplicated. This list is included partially for trivia, and partially beacuse it is likely that esp. historical information in articles linked to in the "name" column will be stuffed up (e.g. post offices, survey dates)—even moreso when one is a new Melburnian suburb and the other is an older rural district.

Because at least one of these pairs/triplets is a barely-populated rural district, there will be many redlinks and article titles might not be what I've linked to here. The existence of a name doesn't in my mind imply that an article should be written, because many of these places are so unpopulated that not even a population count could be given.

Cases marked with * are ABS names. Cases marked with † are names witnessed Bing maps (but not in the list of ABS state suburbs I have), which follows the ABS. Cases marked with ? are unwitnessed, but likely on the basis of nearby ambiguous names. Single symbols are based on nearby towns or cities; doubled are regions; trebbled are geographic features (rivers, mountains, ranges). Other cases are just lga names for now.
