The Wunaamin-Miliwundi ranges are an elevated feature running through Western Australia's Kimberley region. Between 1879 and 2020 they were called the King Leopold Ranges after King Leopold II of Belgium. Through his private army the Force Publique he oversaw the death, torture and dismemberment of millions of people in the Congo Free State. The horror and depravity which took place were brought to mainstream attention by author Joseph Conrad in his novella 'Heart of Darkness'.

Why was 35,000 square kilomentres of Western Australia named for a blood soaked European monarch?
