Well, cheated for this one.......

XANTIPPE - Rural West Australia
Latitude : 30 17 S Longitude : 117 02 E

Xantippe is not a townsite but a rural locality and homestead in the Shire of Dalwallinu, 281 km north north east of Perth and 10 km north west of Kalannie. It has been included as it is one of the few places in Australia starting with an X. The dictionary definition of Xantippe is a scolding woman or shrew; the name originating with Xanthippe (flourished late 5th century BC), ancient Athenian matron, wife of the philosopher Socrates, to whom she bore three sons. She is said to have been highly temperamental, and although little reliable evidence exists to support the conclusion, her name has become synonymous with an ill-tempered, nagging wife, or shrew.
