St Leonards-on-Sea
St Leonards-on-Sea (commonly known as St Leonards) is a town and seaside resort in the Borough of Hastings in East Sussex, England. It has been part of the borough since the late 19th century and lies to the west of central Hastings.

Youanmi, Western Australia
Youanmi is an abandoned town in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The town was gazetted in 1910 but abandoned in 1942, after the local gold mine was closed. History The first Europeans to visit the Youanmi area were the Robert Austin party in 1854, followed by the John Forrest's expedition in 1869, which passed through in search of Ludwig Leichhardt and his party.
