Place: Granite Downs was a 9,000 square kilometres (3,475 sq mi) cattle station in arid northern South Australia.
It is now part of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara lands. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granite_Downs, JD 03/10/2016]

Place: After European settlement, a cattle station called "Everard Park" was operated in the area - giving its name to the mountain range that surrounds what is now the township of Mimili.
Mimili was returned to the ownership of the traditional owners in 1972. The residents are mainly Anangu people who speak either Pitjantjatjara or Yankunytjatjara as their first language. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimili,_South_Australia, JD 03/10/2016]
