Dull Boring and Bland

There are three small communities on three different continents that have one thing in common, their names are well less than exciting. Boring, Oregon is a small town 22 miles out of downtown Portland and was named after William H. Boring. Dull is a village in Scotland and got its name from the Gaelic word meaning meadow. Bland is in New South Wales in Australia and gets its name from an early resident William Bland who was anything but. He was in Australia because he was a convict.
The three towns are now getting together and become sister cities or as thy says in Scotland and Australia "twining". This they hope will bring some level of interest to their towns.
