List of Australian place names changed from German names
text:
During World War I, many German or German-sounding place names in Australia were changed due to anti-German sentiment. The presence of German-derived place names was seen as an affront to the war effort at the time. The names were often changed by being anglicised, or by being given new names of Aboriginal origin or in commemoration of notable soldiers or World War I battlefields.
