Naracoorte
Major rural centre midway between Bordertown and Mount Gambier
Naracoorte is a large (population in excess of 5,000) country town some 330 km south-east of Adelaide and 63 metres above sea level. Like so many Australian towns the correct spelling (it is derived from an Aboriginal word) has ranged from Gnanga-kurt to Nanna-coorta, Narcoot, Nancoota, Narricourt, Narcoota, Narracoorte and Naracoorte. There is a similar problem with the meaning of the word. Some sources insist it means 'place of running water' but equally reliable sources
