I would love to see an effort put into working with relevant First Nations to discover the original place names and publish them (where culturally appropriate to do so). There are examples around Australia where this has happened, but there's a lot more effort required. I'd much rather know the name and story of a place that has been shared over thousands of years rather than what some bushwalker thought it should be called during a five minute visit!

(Book 4, chapter 4.3 already has a detailed description of the route to Goochs Crater and the relevant Grid Ref points.)
