Puffery[edit]

This article seems like a Chamber of Commerce promotion. The notion that the Capertee Valley compares to the Grand Canyon is dubious at best. The site that the EL links to says that the valley is "not quite as deep" as the Grand Canyon. The valley walls of Capertee are 400-600 m above the valley floor; while that's fairly spectacular, those around the Grand Canyon are 1,200-1,800 m above the Colorado River and it's the very narrowness of the Grand Canyon which gives it much of its allure. If you use Google Street View on a site in the middle of the Capertee Valley, the valley is so wide that you can hardly see the cliffs for the low-lying surrounding terrain and vegetation. Unless a reliable source for the Grand Canyon comparison can be found, it ought to eventually be removed. Regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 22:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the puffery a while back, but it was added back in. I've now tagged the intro for two cites - one that the valley is in fact bigger thant the Grand Canyon (while I could confirm that myself, that would be OR; we need a source that makes the comparison) and a second that the valley is little known despite being 'larger' than the grand canyon. I suspect that 'bigger than the grand canyon' is, whilst true in some sense, merely tourist bureau puffery. Glad to see cites otherwise, though. MurfleMan (talk) 00:13, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - and I strongly doubt that the Capertee Valley is anywhere near as long as the Grand Canyon - which is 466km long. For the Capertee Valley to exceed that, it would need to count the entire length of the Capertee River - much of which is not canyon... (and is even that over 466km?) but if we are to compare apples with apples, and not with puffed up balloons, that would have to compare with the entire Colorado river valley, not the canyon... Again, which feature of the Capertee Valley qualifies as a canyon? The Gardens of Stone? But then, they are not usually called, "the Capertee Valley" - that moniker usually refers to the more open valley just to the north-east, around Glen Davis and Glen Alice... Still puffery, in my Aussie opinion - and yes, I've holidayed in the Capertee Valley. The comments on birds is justified to some extent - there are 3-4 species easier to see than elsewhere. But I wouldn't go so far as to say it is one of the top two spots in Australia!!! Ptilinopus (talk) 00:53, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the uncited claims - the tags for cites had remained for more than six months. MurfleMan (talk) 01:06, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
