I found the longest place name in the world..
With a whopping 105 letters, “Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateahaumaitawhitiurehaea-
turipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu” is officially the longest place name in the world. It is the Māori name for a hill in southern Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.
It’s shortened to “Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu” (57 letters) in the New Zealand Geographic Placenames Database, and often shortened even further to “Taumata”, for ease of conversation by the locals.
I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland!! I love beauty in all its forms...warm Winter sunshine on my verandah in the afternoon, the smell of freshly baked bread, the long, long hug of a treasured friend, the softness of a baby's skin, a smile that lights up the face, thunderstorms, a carpet of petals beneath a tree, frosty mornings, a blanket of snow transforming the world, views from the tops of mountains, the excitement of beginning a long journey to a new place....
