What then makes it notable? The article does not state any notability. Surely it can't be the somewhat amusing name? Are there articles for every place in Australia where someone has stolen a sign with a
kangaroo on it? (Or do people not steal such signs?)

Keep verifiable, referenced, geographical location - therefore notable. Please feel free to point me to a policy, guideline or precedent that says otherwise. Yes, I think all cities/towns/villages/lakes/islands/etc with a verifiable gazetted name should have an article, stolen street signs or not. --

Keep as per
WP:NOTABILITY, Some topics are considered of inherent value for inclusion without the assertion of notability, such as cities, villages, lakes, rivers, and mountains. --

Delete per nom.
WP:NOTABILITY does make the unfortunate and regretable concession that somehow every backwater non-notable town which may be folded up tomorrow can have it's article. I'm going to cite
Wikipedia: ignore all rules and suggest deletion. This rule about in
WP:NOTABILITY that every hole on the planet can have an article is a bad thing, and for the benefit of Wikipedia should be ignored. •Elomis•20:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)reply
Keep Some towns in Europe have been in existance longer than most countries. Leave it to be expanded by those in the know, especially as there are many other such articles on verifiable places on Wikipedia. --

Keep In an online encyclopedia where we don't have the kind of space limitations that traditional paper-book encyclopedias have, any place with a name is sufficiently notable to get an entry. --
