Ocean starts. However there are endless circular arguments in relation to whether ratifications of IMO and others are the clearcut definitions they are made out to be - some feirce eds have even claimed the southern doesnt even exist. I would leave it to you - almost all published items I ever have come across from my regular crossings of the nullarbor some years ago say that I was looking out at the southern ocean, not the Indian. But as I say will leave it to you, but be warned. cheers

902:. My reading of the above suggests to me that it is OK to a link to this article on the Regional Council of Goyder and other articles. The MOS also suggests the provision of “a brief annotation when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent”. I have not done this but I think this could be done as either as a note (i.e. “-contains list of parks and gardens managed by the District Council of Goyder”) or as a link via an upgrade of the existing link such as one of the following - 712:"LGAs" and "Suburbs" and the following in PLB - doing a search for "Appila, LOCB", then click map icon and open "suburbs and localities" sub-menu where "show on screen" needs to be clicked and then zoom out to where LGA boundaries are clearly visible. The "Property Location Browser Report" for Appila (prepared by searching for "Appila (LOCB)" and clicking the map marker and opening the "Place Names (Gazetteer)" sub-menu and selecting/saving as a PDF) states the following: 361: 173: 542:

to be broken out from their 1990s-era super-municipalities so we can tell the full history before they got merged, but I'm not sure of how to source exactly what type of LGA they were at what time - most states just had shires, towns and cities, but SA has a whole lot of them that were never terribly consistent and I'm getting a bit stuck on how to trace the histories of the longer-lasting councils. Any ideas?

The reason I'm making the request is, I'm unsure as to how to address the problem of the existence of multiple islands called Rabbit Island, within SA waters. Take a look at the page- you'll see I've created a section called Disambiguation where I point to the other Rabbit island and islet occurrences. 957:? If you are, I'll be happy to contribute to it, though my knowledge of the area is limited. I do have a couple of photos of the spot from a recent visit which could help illustrate such an article, mind you. Oh, and there are many articles on Trove regarding development there, starting with this one: 585:

Thank you! That is phenomenally helpful and way more than I expected! I am not in SA so don't have access to SA archival records, but most relevant books should be in the WA State Library collection, and I think with the links you gave me (especially #2 and #3) I should be able to piece together many

I came to ask much the same question. There is no reason given for the inclusion of this link as a "see also" from so many LGA articles. The Parks and Gardens article uses LGA web sites as references, but the lists are not necessarily complete, and not something I can imagine wanting to read if I'm

The problem I see coming up is that I can fill in all these early blanks, but when it comes to some of the big holes in the region I'm currently working on - Port Adelaide and Woodville being the two obvious ones there - these are beyond any source I can get my hands on right now. They clearly need

Hi Scott Davis, in addition to the comments above in the response to The Drover's Wife, I have the following comment. The most of the lists are complete as per what can be found on the LGA websites that were used as sources at the time of viewing. Incomplete content has been tagged (i.e. “expand

The sources I've discovered online, plus Trove, make any LGA that was out of existence before 1923 a piece of cake to cover from my computer. Given a few weeks, I'm going to hit up the State Library and look up some of the recommendations of book sources I've seen after that, but I'm not sure how

Hi Cowdy. I happily accept your research into this. I did check in the PLB but checked the town boundary instead of the suburb boundary. My bad. Please reverse my edit if you didn't already. I think though that the use of the NAC template on the Appila article is probably unnecessary still.

Hey, thanks for adding to the tags to the early LGA articles I created. You seem to have a bit of a knack for making sense of South Australia's unusually complicated gazettal arrangements for places and such, and I was wondering if there's any chance you might be able to help me.
