There's a problem with Dismal Swamp

...Got it yet?

Here's the deal: The folks in charge of maintaining Tasmania's forests, Forestry Tasmania, have decided one of their local attractions needs a name change. For some reason tourism has been steadily declining at Dismal Swamp.

The problem, it seems, lies mainly in the name. (And here I thought it was the plumbing.)

Now before you go drawing conclusions, it's important to know that Dismal Swamp is one of the only places in the world where you and your loved ones can discover "The mystery of life at the bottom of a giant sinkhole. 40 meters deep!"

A giant sinkhole! I am so there.

Forestry Tasmania is "keen to entice more visitors" to the Dismal Swamp and they've asked for your suggestions. Leave your name idea in our comments and I'll send them to the FT folks at the end of the week.

Hey, you can't do worse than Dismal Swamp right?

I believe the Steven Colbert Swamp O' Fun should be the new name (hey it worked for a bridge in Europe).

Name it "Brangelina" - it's the latest (COMPLETELY unexplainable) phenomena where people lose their effing minds.

How 'bout the "Slightly Depressing But To Be Honest Not That Bad Swamp"?

I love Brangelina - totally describes a giant sinkhole to me. Good one.
