BOOMAHNOOMOONAH, Victoria

The name of this rural town, Victoria's longest single-word place name, is thought to mean "big water", "big red kangaroo" or "big winds" in a local language. Located between Wangaratta and Yarrawonga, there's not much left of the place now - the school, post office and church have all closed.
