[edit] Umm ...

Permmision to make every entry on this page a link to the relevant article? I find the current setup a bit confusing and it would sure make some work for all those redundant wiki-contributers. Josh 05:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Is it "Mermaid Waters" or "Mermaid Beach"? I can only find the later on the GCCC website.

Many of the former Gold Coast City suburbs (eg Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Miami and Burleigh were mirrored within the adjacent shire by a Waters twin. They are now significant suburbs in their own right. The City boundary has now dissolved through amalgamation in 1996. Some of the names in the suburb list are localities within suburbs. A lot of old subdivision names live on as localities within larger suburbs. The distincition is often difficult to resolve - one clue seems to be looking at the Post Code to see if its shared with other place names. Things like Islands and hills are often localities as well within suburbs. 203.3.64.1 22:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
