The suffix &#8220;-in&#8221; or &#8220;-ing&#8221; has a similar meaning in a related dialect of Noongar.[1] Places tended to be named after their distinctive features, whereby the place names could be used to create a &#8220;mental map&#8221; allowing Indigenous Australians to determine where water, food and other raw materials could be found. These sites were often located near sources of fresh water, leading to the common misconception that &#8220;up&#8221; and &#8220;in&#8221; mean &#8220;near water&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meanings and the pronunciations of many of these names has been lost over time.<\/p>\n<cite>https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/-up<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In particular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cowaramup<\/strong> meaning believed to be derived from&nbsp;<em>cowara<\/em>, the Aboriginal name for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Purple-crowned_lorikeet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">purple-crowned lorikeet<\/a>&nbsp;(<em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Glossopsitta_porphyrocephala\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glossopsitta porphyrocephala<\/a><\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manjimup<\/strong> is said to be derived from &#8220;Manjin&#8221;, a broad leafed marsh reed with an edible root<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The antipodes of any place on the Earth is the point on the Earth&#8217;s surface which is diametrically opposite to it.
