Exact Centre of NSW

Finding the exact centre of an irregular shape is not that difficult.

I suspect the reluctance is caused by the fear that Mount Tilga is not the exact centre.

But as far as I'm concerned - it's pretty close. I think the article should be revised so it doesn't make a claim for the exact centre, but describes the location as close to the geographical centre. Pavium 06:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- see 2nd reference for more words on finding centres in geography. I am not quite clear as to what more you want the article to say. Geoscience Australia has said the exact centre is close to Mt Tilga as per the article. I am not sure given the article has that qualification what change you are trying to make. Tourist blurbs claim it is the exact centre (hence article states "it is said to tbe the exact centre" and there is a ref to support it) but we have provided some information as to why that isn't so and also a location - also referenced. This is a wiki - feel free to change if you want to make things clearer but I would like it if you kept that other people say exact centre but we say it is close. I don't think Geoscience Australia is afraid - you will see that they describe several different methods for ascertaining the centre of Australia - each of which gives a different result for the centre of Australia - similarly presumably each method would give a different result for NSW. What is a centre of an irregular shape? GA have come up with a possible centre and it doesn't equal Mt Tilga. Mt Tilga is at -33° 00' south , 147° 08' east - the centre possibility is at 32° 09' 48" South, 147° 01' 00" East - close but not the same. I will add the coords to the article so the difference is clear.--Golden Wattle ^talk 22:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
