| rdfs:label | - List of Australian repeated place names
|
| rdfs:comment | - Australian places include ones with names where a word is repeated to make the name. These names are nearly always derived from indigenous Australian languages. These names are examples of reduplication, a common theme in Australian toponymy, especially in names derived from Indigenous Australian languages such as Wiradjuri. Reduplication is often used as an intensifier such as "Wagga Wagga" many crows and "Tilba Tilba" many waters. This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

| abstract | - Australian places include ones with names where a word is repeated to make the name. These names are nearly always derived from indigenous Australian languages. These names are examples of reduplication, a common theme in Australian toponymy, especially in names derived from Indigenous Australian languages such as Wiradjuri. Reduplication is often used as an intensifier such as "Wagga Wagga" many crows and "Tilba Tilba" many waters. The phenomenon has been the subject of interest in popular culture, including the song by Australian folk singer Greg Champion, Don't Call Wagga Wagga Wagga. British comedian Spike Milligan, an erstwhile resident of Woy Woy, once wrote "Woy it is called Woy Woy Oi will never know". This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
