[edit] Meaning of "Wollumbin"

Does "Wolumbin" mean "Cloudcatcher" or "fighting chief of the mountains" or Both? I always thought it was Cloud Catcher like wikipedia says yet I have just come across several sites that claim it means "fighting chief of the mountains". Thanx —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rudraksha (talk • contribs) 6 Oct 2005.

"cloudcatcher" seems to be the more commonly-attested, but none of the sources I've briefly looked into are particularly authorative. Perhaps both should be mentioned, without ascribing any certainty to one version over another, until some better source can be found.--cjllw | TALK 06:43, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Mt. Warning comes up as Mt. Waning .....

when you search for the word waning, I think it is just a typo. --Cmjtoner 18:19, 12 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Suspect info

On 2007-10-18, some suspect info was added to the article by an anonymous user. Is there anything to back up the changes? I did a few quick google searches and only came up with mirrors of wikipedia (I know this is not an absolute test, but it is an indicator). --James (talk) 08:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:LEAD

Does all this really belong in the lead? James Bray was appointed Enumerator of the Census of 1871 collecting data over an extensive area which stretched southward to Brunswick Heads, north to the border, east to the coast and west as far as settlement – it is this census which holds the original figures of the Aboriginal Protections Board - four collectors were appointed by James Bray to work the allotted areas. Three of whom were James Rowland [step brother of Joshua and James Bray], and Arthur and Louis Nixon – both brothers in law of Joshua Bray. James Bray fixed on march 27 1871 a the commencement date of their duties. It is this census that is the precursor to the creation of Aboriginal missions to the west of the converted Tweed Volcano and the dispossession of the Wollumbin tribe from their ancestral home Wollumbin Volcano I think this doesn't even really need to be in the article, let alone the lead. I would suggest changing it to The Census of 1871 was a precursor to the creation of Aboriginal missions to the west of the converted Tweed Volcano and the dispossession of the Wollumbin tribe from their ancestral home Wollumbin Volcano.
