Brilliant list - I can relate to it even though I haven't lived in Australia since I was 12.
Along with Wooloomooloo, there are some other great Australian place names like Tangambalanga, Mt Buggery, Rooty Hill, Chinkapook, Pimpinbudgie and Tittybong. Mind you, in NZ we have Waikikamukau (why kick a moo cow), Uretiti (you're a titty), Whakapapa (bearing in mind wh is pronounced as f in Maori) and Gore.

Now say "Chairs Might".
