Hi all
I have the urge to visit Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunya
Hill that I believed to be in or near
the Everard Ranges, going by the co-ordinates.
Mimili Community say that they have no knowledge of this
hill.
Can anyone help?

Woodsy, I think your false teeth ended up on the floor.........ROTFLMAO
What a place name, not quite as bad as a city in Thailand (Bangkok):
Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphop
nopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharn
amornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit.
One word, 163 letters....

Mebbe this isnt as long but still long enough
A small place in South Africa
Tweeblouwildebeestemeteenskootdwarsdeurdiehartemorsdoodgeskietfontein
69 letters which translated roughly, means
Two Blue Wildebeest killed with on shot through the heart at this fountain
I always thought that the longest place name in SA was
Lake Caddibarrawirracanna, which lies off track about halfway between
William Creek and
Coober Pedy

Thank you all for your interest & suggestions
I had done the Google Earth, Hema map, Google searches etc and they all still lead me to believe that MAMUNGKUKUMPURANGKUNTJUNYA
Hill is in
the Everard ranges near Mimili and pretty close to
Victory Well campining ground.
The Mimili Community of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands say that they have no knowledge of a
hill of this name. Maybe it is a sacred ground, I don't know.
Because
the Everard Ranges area is a native lands area it is not possible to wander in and do a recce.
So, at the moment, it looks like my quest may be unfulfilled.

Maybe they mightn't want to talk about the location due to its meaning........
Derivation of Name: Abna Meaning "where The Devil Urinates"
