Hi, I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but the BeeGee's lived on Crib Island for some time — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.78.42 (talk) 02:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Confusing English
editI am not quite sure what this sentence means: In 1970, the Commonwealth Government proceeded to resume land on the island for the purpose of upgrading the airport.
I presume this is "Australian English" for something like, "In 1960, the Government of Australia started to purchase land on the island to upgrade the airport".
It might be better to write this so it was more easily understood.---Filll (talk | wpc) 04:59, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Not sure if it is Australian English or not, but here "resumes" means the government forces you to give up your land and pays you compensation. It's not that they purchase land that is for sale. I'll think of a better way to say it. Kerry (talk) 08:59, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
