Kunghar - Mountain
Kunghar - Parish - X. I named this mountain - In the early days I was
camped on this hill with some cattle and two black boys
in the night the cattle strayed, so in the morning I sent
the black boys to look for them or in their own language
to 'Kunghai' them. When they had found them all, they said
"we been all Kunghai"- I said " we will call;
this hill Mount Kunghai and it has kept this name ever since -
- and the Parish is called " Kunghai"
