List of locations in Australia with an English name explained

This article lists places in Australia that were given names of places in England by English emigrants and explorers. It also includes place names where there is a similar place name in England, even if one is not directly derived from the other. For example, Oxley is a place name in England, but Oxley, Queensland is named for the explorer John Oxley rather than the English place. Similarly, Kenilworth is a place name in England, but Kenilworth, Queensland is reportedly named after a novel of that name. In some cases the place name in England is that of a residence or farm; for example, Hughenden, Queensland is derived from Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire.
