I have added the following phrase that was found on the mount barker south australia page with the appropriate changes made: "Mail and emergency phone calls are sometimes accidentally exchanged with Mount Barker, Western Australia.". This statement is true of both towns.

[edit] Content

As a resident of Mount Barker, Western Australia, I've taken it upon myself to add substantial content to this page. There is still some work to do on wiki links, references (with links) and formatting. Hope I haven't stepped on anyone's toes. Comments welcome at this point. --AndrewD MBarker 15:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely not, very solid contribution and much appreciated! I'll have a look through it in the next few days and see what we can add to get it to a B-class article. Orderinchaos78 06:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Good work you guys. Last time I looked at this article (sometime during IAP development) it was a small stub, now its quite good. What do you think of mine (Mount Barker, South Australia) I have been doing stacks of work on it recently. --TheJosh 09:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
