Townsville? Fucksake Oz!

Named after Robert Towns. 150 years before the airing of a children's television show that provokes the same tired comments from overseas posters every time the word "Townsville" appears in the news.

"Robert Towns (10 November 1794 – 11 April 1873) was a British master mariner who settled in Australia as a businessman, sandalwood merchant, colonist, shipowner, pastoralist, politician, whaler and civic leader. He was the founder of Townsville, Queensland and named it after himself."
