Talk:Bundaberg

Talk:Bundaberg, Queensland/Speedy1 - comments unlikely to be helpful to the creation of this article.

It seems strange that so much of the article on a significant town like Bundaberg relates to some health disaster back in the 1920s. Metamagician3000 03:45, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Bundaberg seems to attract its fair share of unusual stuff - subtropical winter Olympians, medical disasters, non-medical disasters, etc. Andjam 04:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

External links

Bundaberg rum is notable enough, but does there need to be a link to their web page on this article when there's one in the Bundaberg Rum article? Andjam 23:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Went ahead and removed the web link for this article. Andjam 04:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

St. Paul's Image

If anybody sees a need to use an image of St. Paul's cathederal, there is one available as Image:Bundabergsda.jpg. It is used on the Seventh-day Adventist Church page at present. -Fermion 09:29, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Map

Anyone have a free map? Showing how the city is designed in a triangular fashion might fascinate readers. --DavidHOzAu 14:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Surely there has to be good points to Bundaberg? None transpire from this article. No mention of weather, natural reserves etc... — Preceding unsigned comment added by who cares? (talk • contribs)

also no mention was made of the dead backpacker(s).... Sfacets

The "dead backpackers" I assume you are referring to died in Childers during a fire at the Palace Backpackers in June 2000. Childers is 45mins south of Bundaberg.

They might've been talking about to Caroline Stuttle, a backpacker who was murdered a few years ago. As far as good points go, I'm sure Bundy's got some, but all I can think of is that house prices aren't as high as some other Queensland towns, and that doesn't seem particularly encyclopedia-worthy. I'll keep thinking. Jodievdw 08:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Toft brothers

I tend to remove redlinked people from "notable people" sections of place articles, most of these "notables" are local musicians, models, "personalities", you get the idea. These ones, however, are a bit different to the norm:

• Harold Toft and Colin Toft, Made large contribution to mechanical cane harvesting, todays CASE IH 7000 series Austoft machines are a result of their work.

Lots of red links there, and these guys get less google hits put together than my mother, but I am leaving it here as a reference. aliasd·U·T 12:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

From some poking around, it seems these guys made the first commercially successful series of cane harvesters. [1]. Not necessarily notable in itself, but discussion? 13:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Jayant Patel is hardly a resident as the Gov't is seeking his extradition from overseas.
