Here's our wrap of Canberra's best (and most memorable) street names

Buying and selling property is serious business - but there's literally one thing an agent (or a buyer) can't control: a street name.

While most Canberra streets are named after traditional places from our First Nations heritage or for the people who have helped shape our fair city (and country), there are some absolute stunners I'd pay megabucks to live on. 

Here they are, in order.

Bogan Place, Kaleen 

The Oxford dictionary describes a bogan as “an uncouth or unsophisticated person regarded as being of low social status”. That doesn't sound like the suburb of Kaleen at all! Kath and Kim fans should be lining this street for a selfie: "look at moi ploise Kim".

The fact that this street isn’t in Queanbeyan came as quite a shock to me. 

Sargood Street, O’Connor 

This street's name is SAR GOOD! Known as the home to iconic O’Connor pub The Duxton (formerly All Bar Nun), it's more of a laneway than a street. But living on it would be sargood!

Sanger Street, Franklin

There are a couple of street names in Canberra that make my mouth water, including this one. Sanger Street is Australian colloquialism at its finest. Whether you loves yours packed with bacon, lettuce and tomato, or vegemite and cheese, this would be a a ripper of a street to live on. (I'm a devon and tomato sauce girl myself.)

Batman Street, Braddon 

Imagine you're a the chemist and the pharmacist says, 'can you confirm your address please' and you just belt out NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA ... BATMAN! This street name has to be one of, if not, the coolest street name in Canberra. Located right in the middle of the city, you've probably seen the sign going from Ainslie into Civic. I just wanna know - when we are getting Wonderwoman Street?! 

Lamington Street, Deakin

I hear they're big fans of high tea in Deakin: so much so that they've named one of their streets after a particular Australian mini cake. Perks: everyone knows how to spell it! 

Iron Knob Street, Fyshwick 

Ah, Fyshwick. Home to the capital's red light district and synonymous with sex shops, tattoo parlours and discount mattresses. Iron Knob Street is always a popular gag for my interstate visitors but when they then find out it is home to the Canberra Outlet Centre (or COC) - well, you can imagine the response.

Nuyts Street, Red Hill 

The GPS pronounces it 'new-eats' but I pronounce it NUTS. Look up Nuyts in the dictionary and it says: “successful, joyful, freedom lover”. Yikes. While this street is in prestigious Red Hill and surrounded by Catholic churches, there is just something about the small word that sends people into fits of giggles.

Quick Street, Braddon 

Can you believe Batman Street becomes Quick Street? The ACT planning Gods must have been having a laugh when they printed those signs. I personally don't like being told to hurry when I'm shopping in Civic but I love that this street name has tones of powdered chocolate milk.
