Wrong claim
editMount Bartle Frere and Mount Bellenden Ker are also further west than Mount Canobolas and taller. Who knows how many others? The claim of Mount Canobolas being tallest between XXX and Africa is a wanky statement (and factually incorrect). If someone else doesn't take it out I will. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.236.41.53 (talk) 09:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
The tallest mountain claim is a dubious one. It might take some creative wording to give it more accuracy. Some of the other mentioned mountains such as Bartle Frere and Bogong, if they are further west, are still part of the Great Dividing Range, which Mount Canobolas is not. Also with regards to the Northern Territory and South Australia peaks, they may not be volcanic peaks such as Mount Canobolas is. It may be the case that Mount Canobolas can be described as the highest volcanic mountain inland from the eastern sea board Great Dividing Range across to the Indian Ocean. Claims about the highest peak across to Africa might work if you were talking about drawing a straight line east-west through Mount Canobolas and saying that was the case, however it otherwise ignores the numerous peaks such as through Indonesia and other parts of the Indian Ocean.

Joshua Phillips? Who's he?
editThe article claims Mt Canobolas was first climbed by "a bloke from Orange, QLD. Joshua Phillips..." This sounds like a fake insert to me. There is no citation. Google turns up no such person. The use of the word "bloke" suggests non-professionalism, and Orange is the town adjacent the mountain, in New South Wales, not Queensland. Google does find a young man who was a student in Orange in recent years, and who now lives in Queensland, but nothing connected to thus claim. I am deleting this portion.

Elevation
editThe text and the info box cite the same source, but give different figures for the elevation. Given the same source, you would think they would agree! Ptilinopus (talk) 23:11, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
