Hmmm...just offshore from Phillip Island here (where the motor bike  
races are held) there's a couple of small islands called The Nobbies.  
Make what you will of that.
More remote places tended to get names like Mount Disappointment and  
Cape Despair. Explorers down here weren't really finding what they  
wanted.
