Murrurundi
Murrurundi is a rural town located in the Upper Hunter Shire, in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, Australia.
Murrurundi is situated 193 kilometres (120 mi) northwest by road from Newcastle and 309 kilometres (192 mi) north from Sydney. At the 2011 census the town had a population of 847 people. The town is almost completely surrounded by mountains of the Liverpool Range, and is located on the Pages River, a tributary of the Hunter River.
Overview
Prior to European settlement, the Murrurundi district was home to the Wanaruah and possibly the Kamilaroi Aboriginal people. European settlement of the area began in the 1820s, and the town itself was established by the New South Wales government in 1840. In the same year, a local landholder, Thomas Haydon, established an adjacent private township called Haydonton. In 1913, the two neighbouring settlements were merged to create the modern-day town of Murrurundi.
The name "Murrurundi" is often erroneously thought to come from an Aboriginal word meaning "nestling in the valley". It does in fact mean "five fingers", a representation of the rock formation visible at the northern end of the township.

Mr. Night
by: Kenny LogginsI read your letter, it said between the lines
You're visitin' Mexico for an indefinite amount of time
Your love for burritos has now begun to cool
You need this drivin' fool to Detomaso the night away
Detomaso a ride away
CHORUS:
Roll Mr. Night, you know what you gotta do
Anymore I ain't askin' you, go on out and do it tonight
Come on Mr. Night, now I'm in the driver's seat
Till we reach our destiny, go on out and do it tonight
Your Mona Lisa, she took her smile of gold
Run under the border guard and put it over on her Romeo
Your love for seæ? rita I see is none too cool
Here comes this drivin' fool to Detomaso the night away
Detomaso a ride away
CHORUS
I see those ivory lies in sweet Rosita's eyes
Gonna leave them both behind when we 'tomaso all night
Your love and money this time are gone for good
Little Rosa took a boda bag and hit the road like a Robin Hood
And I see by the headlines that I'll be drivin' south
And when I pull you out we'll Detomaso the night away
Detomaso a ride away, Lambourghini a getaway
