I just read in the Diversionary (daily)-Blog about where people lived in their lives and again Brunswick turned up.
Now, I looked it up.
This is the town I live in. Aparently Brunswick in Melbourne in Australia, Victoria, is named after my town.
Thomas "Wilkinson had been an active campaigner for the rights of Caroline of Brunswick, the estranged wife of King George IV, and thus named his estate Brunswick, in her honour."
Funny, isn´t it? You can read the full story here.
If I moved there, I would only need to change Street and Country in my visiting card ;-)
