Victor Harbo(u)r

Regarding this edit and comment: The station at Victor Harbor is spelt Victor Harbour (the SAR used the spelling Harbour).

Thanks for the chuckle.
Yeah, that doesn't really surprise me. (Amuses me, but doesn't surprise me.)
How on earth did you find that gem of information! (And where?)

Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:06, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have copies of the plans of the buildings and yard layout from the old SAR map room at Adelaide Station (printed off for me by the obliging ANR/STA staff in the 80s). The prints are ammonia prints from the original blue prints. I also have photos of the station and signs from that period. Ozdaren (talk) 14:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! (I'm jealous!) That makes "here's one I prepared earlier" seem tame ...

You have to wonder why they chose to spell it differently, don't you. (It reminds me of the story of the naming of the rank of the most senior RAF officer, (Marshal of the Royal Air Force#Origins), except in this case there was no monarch available to suggest common sense prevail ... )

Are you planning to scan any of that stuff? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broken Coord

Hi. In order to clean up Category:Coord template needing repair, would you mind if I changed an instances of {{coord}} in User talk:Ozdaren/personal sandbox? "{{coord|34|54|57|S|138|36|07|E |scale:2000_region:AU |display=inline,title |Adelaide Rowing Club}}" needs to be "{{coord|...|name=Adelaide Rowing Club}}". (Actually, if you're going to put it on Adelaide Rowing Club, you don't need to specify the name of the location; it'll automatically take that of the page name.) —WWoods (talk) 14:53, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mt Barker

Noticed your edit in my watchlist, but haven't examined it. I think there's a Mt Barker, and a Mt Barker Junction. Then, there's also the place where SteamRanger are located. Lots of choice! Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's more than "preserved" - it's actively used by the SteamRanger people. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:23, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly not 'deserted'. Ozdaren (talk) 00:54, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Steamtown

Howdy - thanks for tweaking the SPM page - I am thinking about splitting the article - one to focus on Steamtown as an operation, and another as the   Steamtown heritage rail centre. They are two separate entities, with distinctly different purposes.  would appreciate any comment? thanks Sulzer55 (talk) 14:58, 2 January 2010 (UTC)t[reply]

Castletown Shoppingworld

Hi you sent me a message some time back saying that you reverted additions to Castletown Shoppingworld, i just wanted to know why you sent me that message as i never made any additions to this page that where in copyright to the Bully, all i did was remove City of Thuringowa from a cat as the city of Thuringowa and Townsville merged.
Thanks
