Correction to the naming mentioned in this article: The name for Big Red is actually Nappenerica Dune, so named because it is on the western edge of lake Napperenica. I am not sure if Napperenica is a Wangkamadla, Karanguru or Wangkangurru word, but it roughly translates to water that takes a long time to dry up.
The author says it's name is Nappa Merri(e), but that name applies to a
waterhole on
Cooper Creek.
The dune was later named Big Red by Denis Bartell.
