Swimming locations[edit]

Wikipedia loses its credibility through this stuff. What is the point? Can we have talk of good swimming locations for Walhalla, Dubbo, Cunnamulla, Launceston, Christchurch, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Monserrat, Rio De Janeiro, Santiago, Fairbanks and Dar Al-Salaam el Rabwa too. With thanks. GR

I agree - I have lived in Sunbury for over 30years and I wouldn't want to swim in this so-called swimming location. Stevefrommelbourne (talk) 10:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Culture[edit]

I have read this section several times and there is no reference to 'culture'. This section discusses the demographics of Sunbury, rather than it's culture. Again, after living in this town for over 30 years, I would suggest that the demographics of Sunbury up until the mid-1980's was predominantly white anglo-saxon and some other minor ethnic groups. It has only been in the last 20 years that Sunbury has seen an increase of other nationalities. Stevefrommelbourne (talk) 10:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Adrian Lodders - Sunbury Panorama - Shot 1 Full Size HQ CC.jpg[edit]

Image:Adrian Lodders - Sunbury Panorama - Shot 1 Full Size HQ CC.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Aboriginal history of Sunbury[edit]

I was perhaps a bit eager to add my bit on Sunbury's Aboriginal history - I propose the following with appropriate references included -

"The Sunbury area has several important Aboriginal archaeological sites, including five earth rings, which were identified in the 1970s and 80s, and believed to have been used for ceremonial gatherings. Records of corroborees and other large gatherings during early settlement attest to the imporatance of the area for Aboriginal people of the Wurundjeri tribe.^[1]^[2] ^[3]"

You hadn't provided sources, but now you have - so by all means, proceed with adding the Aboriginal History. :) -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 06:03, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
