Talk:Barrenjoey, New South Wales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article seems to be more about the Barranjoey lighthouse (Barrenjoey?) than the locality of Barranjoey (it's not clear to me that such a locality/suburb actually exists I'll research more).

Here is a link to information on the lighthouse Note: this links to an article which has the browser title of Barranjoey lighthouse yet the URL is for Barrenjoey ...

[edit] Spelling

Here's a link to an article on the Barranjoey/Barrenjoey spelling controversy at www.barranjoey.com

The above link speaks of the historical confusion over the correct spelling, however contemporary Sydneysiders spell it as Barrenjoey, and it is spelt this way in all contemporary (official) literature. As this is a contemporary encyclopedia, it should be spelt with the correct contemporary spelling.

Barrenjoey is not a locality or suburb, the suburb in question is Palm Beach - which already has an article here. There is, however, a Barrenjoey Head, which is the southern headland of the entrance to Broken Bay, upon which stands Barrenjoey Lighthouse. I believe this article is an article mostly about Barrenjoey Lighthouse - information about "Barrenjoey Head" I think can be incorporated into the Palm Beach article, if not already.
