Thanks for your effort and knowledge, some times we just have to accept that we can't find out.
We know where her family were situated so it is not a total loss.

When I was about 16 and tearing about Scotland on a motorbike we were searching for the location of GASK in Perthshire for the motorcycle racing and stopped for a Fish Tea in Aberuthven.   
The locals called it ' Bruvven '
A stretch but worth a try, cheers, Ian

The OS six inch map 1st edition 1843 -1882 (viewable online though the National Library of Scotland) has a "Kinnonpark" located slightly North West of Tibbermore, but still within that parish I would think. It appears to be a substantial building with a few cottages behind. Given that the family are later located at Huntingtower, could it be that William was a labourer on this estate in 1847, which has been named as just Kinnon, or Cinnon later?

On a slightly different note, Huntingtower Castle is still there, and probably best known as the setting for the John Buchan Novel Huntingtower, whilst Tibbermore was the site of the Battle of Tippermuir when the Royalist forces of James Graham Marquis of Montrose defeated a covenanting army under lord Elcho in September 1644.

From the same map - other possibles.

West of Tibbermore is a small hamlet called Greenhill. Just South of Methven is a "Cleikuminn" and Tibbermore parish seems to include three farms Mains of Cultmalundie, Wester Cultmalundie and Easter Cultmalundie. If, like Culter near Aberdeen the "lt" is effectively silent, that might well sound something  like "Cumalun" to Australian ears.

A wild thought:  could she have been meaning she was born in a Caravan in Perthshire, and was unsure of exactly where?

just north of Cupar Angus on the way to Alyth is a wee place called CRONAN

Could that be it?

Turns out it's a Farm, but special because of Broccoli and Solar Energy but it exists on older maps.
