[edit] Boundary Streets & Musgrave Park

I have often heard the story about the 'Boundary Streets' and wondered if it was true or a myth. Do you have any citation for it? It would be good to get some hard evidence to support it. Also, the article says that Musgrave Park is in the centre of the city, which is inaccurate. Musgrave Park is in West End, which is across the river from the city centre (at least as it is usually defined. Ashmoo 03:53, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Maybe it shouldn’t be incorporated into the article before we can reference it, or we will be helping to spread the myth (it it is a myth).--Ezeu 02:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

There is something about that in this article: History of the Boundary Street Curfew, and also here.--Ezeu 02:23, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Booree

This sentence has been included in the article:

"Booree" is a term of reference for the Kabi people of Brisbane and surrounding areas.

What does 'term of reference' mean? What is the difference between Booree & Kabi? Are they synonyms, or is one a sub-set of the other? Ashmoo 01:01, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• 'Term of reference' is jargon for "a term with which they are referred (or refer to themselves)". I am removing Booree from the article. It seems out of place and is possibly erroneous. Booree seems to be a common Aboriginal place name, but until someone can come up with something more substantial about its usage as a notable term of reference with relevance to this article, it shouldn’t be in the article. --Ezeu 01:33, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Murri Disambiguation

I would like to move this article to Murri (Australia) or Murri (people) because Pakistani city of Murree is also spelled as Murri. We could create a disambiguation page with both uses of Murri. Szhaider 11:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
