Bendigo Council Votes To Rename Huntly to Moist

Bendigo City Council has announced that it will rename the suburb of Huntly “Moist.”

“We are excited to announce that we are changing the name of Huntly to Moist,” said Mayor Andrea Metcalf.

“Moist is a more evocative name than Huntly, and it conjures up images of damp, earthy smells and misty mornings. It’s a name that will stick in people’s minds.”

The news has been met with delight and confusion from the people of Huntly… sorry, Moist.

The council, however, remains adamant that the name change is a positive step forward for the community.

“I can’t wait to stop at the Moist Bakehouse and grab one of their world-famous Moist pies on the way to Echuca,” one Moist local said.

The council has already begun updating street signs and official documents to reflect the new name and is encouraging residents to embrace the change.

“We believe the new name will help put Moist on the map and attract more visitors and businesses to the area,” the mayor said.

While some may be sceptical of the council’s decision, the suburb of Moist will undoubtedly make headlines for years to come.
