King st is named after the 3rd Governor of Victoria, someone King. Right, leave that in the memory box for that random guiz night question.
Likewise elizabeth street is named after macquarie's wife
Was Elizabeth St originally Elizabeth Creek? Or is that just a joke about how it floods? I think I remember reading it used to be a creek.
Although the whole area just bogged like mad (bearbrass has some hilarious anecdotes) you're probably thinking of this article
I think I read that a bullock dray drowned in a rather large puddle at the corner of collins and elizabeth in the 1800's
