World's longest place name

Taumata is the name of hill, rising 1000 feet above sea level, located Hawke's Bay New Zealand. Well actually the name is shorted Taumata to make things a little easier during a discussion. The actual name for the hill is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.

Try saying that three times fast! With an astounding amount of eighty-five letters, it has entered the Guinness World Records as the longest name for a place.
