“Excitement in the air” as Bland seeks threesome with Dull and Boring

Another teaming up of towns reported: Bland in Australia is looking into becoming a sister town with Dull in Scotland and Boring in Oregon.

The news article brings up other possibilities for sister towns: Monotony Valley in Nevada, Tedious Creek in Maryland, Yawn St in Massachusetts, and Ho Hum Drive in the town of Carefree, Arizona.

An interesting fact in the article — it’s about the shire’s name: Bland Shire was named after William Bland, who was transported from London as a convict to Tasmania in 1814 after killing a sailor in a duel in Bombay. Later pardoned, he became a pillar of colonial life and founded the Australian Medical Association.
