Absolutely unbelievably ridiculous. Such a weird list of names. You should plan a road trip only visiting daft named places.

Yes, Tittybong ‘s meaning in today’s world. I love Jonno’s Suggestion to take a trip visiting places with funny names. Tassie certainly has a good few in a relatively small area – see https://lifeofrileyow.com/2017/04/20/humorous-place-names/
We once took a trip in Tassie just for the sake of blogging we wet from, Nowhere else, through Promised Land to Paradise, and finished up in Lower Crackpot! True story!
