[edit] Spelling
The claim that South Australian Harbours are spelt without a "u" reflects the use of American shipping charts by the State Government in the late 19th and early 20th century is probably wrong. The towns official website notes that all three Harbours in South Australia are spelt without a 'u'. the website intimates that the spelling of all South Australian Harbours without the 'u' originated from spelling errors made by an early Surveyor General of South Australia. This explanation has widespread currency among local residents and is the explantation given to visitors at the towns information centre. If there are no objections I propose to correct the explanation in this article Tophonic (talk) 11:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
