[edit] Same town - Billinudgel/Billnudgel???

Billinudgel, New South Wales Billnudgel, New South Wales Are these the same town? SauliH 23:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

  • They sure are - I have transferred the different data from Billnudgel, New South Wales (incorrectly spelt) to Billinudgel, New South Wales - I tried to move and merge but we need an admin to help please? --VS talk 00:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I presume that Billnudgel, New South Wales can be speedily deleted without pointless discussion.--Grahamec 05:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Better to redirect from a possible spelling error--Golden Wattle talk 06:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
        • Did just that just now. Redirect may come in use at some point. But go ahead and delete if you feel you must.SauliH 06:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Road District Boards

Can someone give me a hand with Road District Boards? Couldn't find any mention of them in the archives. My property, until late last year at least, was referred to as Sussex Location ####. This refers to the historic Sussex Road District located in the Busselton. There appears to be little in the way of what a Road District is on the net [1][2] however there is information on the former areas called road districts [3]. They appear to have been used in Victoria, Queensland and WA (phasing out in 1961). Now I'm not sure if Busselton was the last shire to remove all references to road districts (Sussex in their case) but they may still be currently used in other places. - Ctbolt 02:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

There is some history of Victorian Road Boards here Haven't yet found the equivalent WA history - but perhaps it is a line of research. Regards--Golden Wattle talk 05:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Golden Wattle, I'll keep a lookout while in the library. - Ctbolt 11:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moe, Victoria

A discussion is taking place at Talk:Moe, Victoria about what is a "city" as opposed to a "town". Any thoughts from others would be welcome.--Mattinbgn/ talk 08:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redesford, Victoria

I have had a bit of a look on google but I can't see any evidence this town exists. Does anyone know it?--Mattinbgn/ talk 07:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Not a single hit on http://www.ga.gov.au 's place name search. I've tagged the article with {{hoax}}. -- Chuq 08:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I have looked through all five of my search for a Victorian location websites - not one hit. Should be marked for speedy deletion I suggest.--VS talk 08:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
