I finished a mini-mapping project with David Dean last week. Yeronga was pretty poorly covered and now it's done (though of course it's never done, that's like saying software has no bugs or feature enhancements :~) ). It took us four visits, a few hours each time. I'm sure I could track down a tool to do a fancy animation.

One of my most favouritest parts of Yeronga is the magical lands of "O". It took us some time to find the cluster. David didn't believe it existed until the third night. Then we were truly O-struck:

• Otari Rd.


• Ormonde Rd.


• Orient Rd.


• Osric St.


• Orontes Rd.


• Orsova Rd.


• Ormuz Rd.


• Orvieto Rd.


• Orama Rd.


• Orlando Rd.


• Ormadale Rd.


• Oriel Rd.


• Orari Rd.


• Osterley Rd.


• Orestes Rd.


• Orcades Rd.


• Oriana Crescent

I wonder if I left anyone out? I was half expecting to find Osama or Obama streets. I wouldn't have been totally surprised to see Osmarender on a sign.

(Incidentally, the alliterati didn't have all the fun. There was Party Lane, a very quiet street as it happens, and the unarticled Esplanade" – most exclusive.)

O, what kinds of psychotropic substances were the folks in the street naming division taking when these were set up?
