It appears that the James Taylor, after whom Canberra's Mount Taylor is named, is an ancestor of Well Done Angus. In the absence of a currently-known pre-colonial name, some people have therefore decided to start calling it Mount Kambah.

Kambah, btw, is the name of the suburb within which the mountain is located and is derived from the same word as Ngambri, and Canberra itself
