Also, here's a fun fact: while I have a feeling that he chose towns that make sense/fit into the rhythm/sound silly, if you actually take a look at where every town is located, he really hasn't been everywhere.

Out of the towns/places listed, 54 of those are towns/places in NSW, 10 are from Victoria, 26 from Queensland, 2 from the ACT (one of those is shared with NSW) and 1 from SA (that's shared with Vic and Qld) and NT. So really, the song is more like "I've been on the eastern seaboard man, I've been on the eastern seaboard..."

(Also, what makes it about five times funnier is that Oodnadatta IS a South Aussie town, but it's also right in the middle of the desert and a good solid 2-3 DAY travel from most of these towns
