Okay, so I'm currently planning a little driving holiday around Tasmania with a few friend. Apart from Port Arthur and a few historic houses on the way our reasons for going tie into the names of places.
Grindlewald (the town named after the dark lord that Dumbledore defeated (and his lover depending on which fans you listen to)
Swansea (the other big town in Wales, the one not on a rift between time and space)
Huonville (where Huon Pines are cut down and disolved into Huon particles to attrack any Time Lord nearby)
But on doing a bit of map perusing I came across a few other delightful places.
Stonehenge.
Bagdad.
Waterloo
Tiberius
Jericho
Styx
Cuckoo
Seriously people, who is coming up with these names? One one side the History geek in me is giggling like a maniac which is slightly disconcerting because so is the Sci-fi geek in me.
And if you're at all interested Google maps tells me that it's about a 55 minue journey from Stonehenge to Bagdad.
