Removal of Rolleston from list

[edit]

Oops. Correct ref is http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/property/placenames/details.php?id=28948 Reads: Named after Christopher Rolleston (1817-1888) pastoralist and public servant, part lessee of a number of runs in the adjacent district 1860s. Downsize43 (talk) 01:56, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oxley

[edit]

After tossing a mental coin I have retained Oxley, Queensland in the list, for the following reasons: 1. John Oxley was an English naval officer on official duties, rather than a settler. 2. Oxley is a location in England. Downsize43 (talk) 01:55, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ascot, WA

[edit]

Can someone please add in that there is an Ascot in WA? 159.196.80.134 (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also a Mount Pleasant 159.196.80.134 (talk) 17:13, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And an Osborne in SA 159.196.80.134 (talk) 17:16, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reformat of List.

[edit]

This is such a great page, but I personally think that there list should be a 3 columned table.

1 column for Australia place link, 1 for UK place link, and a third for any extra info.

Think would be v useful. Habat1165 (talk) 18:42, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
