Nanga Parbat, whose name means Naked Mountain, is the ninth highest mountain in the world, and the westernmost mountain of the Himalayas.

Magic Mountain was an infamous amusement arcade with 2 water slides, sky cycle, mini golf, bumper boats and various video games. It was on Adelaide's premier beach at Glenelg and at the end of the main hwy, Anzac Hwy.
