The best street name would have to be Bourbon St in New Orleans where they hold their Mardi Gras.

Could be near Nyngan in the middle of nowhere. My sister has just moved there and it is a part of the Bogan Shire.

The Bogan River, oddly enough. It runs north through central west NSW from near Parkes to meet the Macquarie river south of Brewarrina.
The derogoratory name Bogan seems to be a Victorian invention and having visited there it seems understandable when half the population have tatts, nipple rings and black jeans (and that's just the blokes). Must be a reaction to spending all their time staring at the speedo.
