Merger tag[edit]

placed with no discussion... a lot depends to which extent it might be expandable - or whether it was a once off article with little sign of follow up or development Satu Suro 04:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

It seems to make sense to collect the various labels into the one article - coast/region in the one - Satu Suro 00:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What would it be merged with? Australia? I don't think it deserves its own article though... even as a west australian suspicious of all you t'othersiders. nigell k (talk) 15:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I oughta read properly, agreed, mergenigell k (talk) 15:32, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Cities update[edit]

The list of 'Cities and major towns' seemed best renamed to 'Major cities,' given that all listed conurbations have (at time of writing) a population in excess of 100,000. Taking this arbitary marker and the articles own definition of 'Eastern states of Australia' (i.e. often including Tasmania, rarely including South Australia), I saw fit to add both Geelong and Launceston to this list. I contemplated addition of both Toowoomba and Albury-Woodonga, but deferred due to their substantially inland locations. Additionally, I updated the links of several Queensland cities to avoid redirects. Lastly, I sorted the list be descending order of population (according to the population figures given here). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.185.135 (talk) 03:48, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Western Australian Perspective[edit]

I think in WA the Eastern States are all of Australia east of WA, including SA, Tasmania and perhaps NT.

Do you have a reference to support that claim? Mitch Ames (talk) 12:24, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
