Bombo has been renamed three times, but two names were the same. It was
opened as North Kiama, renamed to Kiama, renamed to North Kiama, renamed
to Bombo.
I had a quick read this morning and here are some other Illawarra ones:
National Park opened as Loftus.
Clifton opened as North Clifton.
South Clifton opened as Clifton.
Thirroul opened as Robbinsville.
Bulli opened as North Bulli.
Fairy Meadow opened as Para Meadow, then renamed Balgownie.
Coniston opened as Mount Drummond.
Yallah opened as Albion Park.
Albion Park opened as Oak Flats.
