Icarus

Our frequent flier, Marcus lives in Albany Western Australia.  I wondered; where is Albany? Google showed me that it is in Western Australia in the south. Albany appears to be a city of substantial size. Used to be a whaling port according to descriptions.

While scanning the map, I noticed that there are numerous nearby locations with similar name endings. Manijinup, Balbarup,Palgarup, Dingup, and more.  What does the ending; up, imply?

Albany designates itself a city, but it is really just an old rundown country town.

Sorry Icarus, Dark Lightning, I am on a mission from god to remove MarcusA as the last responder to as many threads as I can before I die.  I do realise the irony of another annoying Australian interposing in such a way, I'll endeavour to limit myself to a few a day, it could take some time.

There hasn't been an actual pic posted here for a while.

I second that.
