This 'mountain' is named after Thomas Anketell, who was manager of the Roebourne Union Bank. He, along with bank clerk, Henry Burrup (his name is certainly familiar to locals), was brutally murdered in the early hours of Tuesday morning, on the 13th January 1885, on the bank premises. Although 3 men were arrested and tried for the murders, they were all found not guilty. The crime remains an unsolved mystery and would make for a great movie.

"A brutal and a hideous double murder, as fiendish a business
as has ever horrified and disgraced any part of Australia ..."

It took me a while to work out where exactly this 'mountain' is, and I hope I have got the right spot, it is the highest point in the area. I started off relying on where Google maps had it located but there is certainly no hill at that spot. I trust you enjoy the fantastic view.
