Talk:Port Stephens (New South Wales)

Latitude and longitude

Could someone find out the latitude and longitude of Port Stephens and add it to the article so that they could be used as an input to Google Earth and other map applications? --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 04:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Queen Mary

An OTRS ticket says the QM was never there. "There could be confusion with the old Manoora or the old Kanimbla which were there during the war and were camouflaged. Wartime secrecy provisions possibly prevented them from being identified at the time, and they were as big as anything ever to be in the port at that time, but the Mary would not have been able to maneuvered and had too great a draft to utilise the port." I certainly can't verify the claim so have removed it. Please don't put it back without a reliable source. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 15:12, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

At 1,019 feet it would have been hard to confuse the Queen Mary with either HMAS Manoora (1935) or HMAS Kanimbla (1936) which were both less than half her length, especially since she has three funnels and they each only had one. As for draught, the MV Sygna, which we know was there, had a draught around the same as that of the Queen Mary. --AussieLegend (talk) 22:17, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Sygna

Is there a reason the information about the Sygna is listed in 'Geography' instead of 'History'? DermottBanana (talk) 12:11, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

The Sygna information is included as an example of the size of vessels that can be accommodated, not as part of the area's history. Storage of the bow section is a really minor part of the history. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Tide dominated estuary?

Fairly sure that Port Stephens is NOT a tide dominated esturary, it is wave dominated. Anyone with sources for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.78.233.210 (talk) 06:11, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

There's a citation at the end of the first sentence, where this is stated. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:42, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Requested move 07 June 2015

A requested move discussion has been opened at Talk:Port Stephens, New South Wales#Requested move 07 June 2015. The requested move asks that this article be moved back to Port Stephens. It was incorrectly opened at Talk:Port Stephens, New South Wales after the article had been moved here. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:53, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Article title

"Port Stephens (New South Wales)" is in my opinion far from satisfactory as an article title. Port Stephens Council, the electoral district of Port Stephens and Port Stephens Coaches are all in New South Wales. Hence, the parenthetical "New South Wales" does not help in disambiguating between them and the natural harbour of the same name. DrKiernan (talk) 08:30, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

What would you suggest we call Port Stephens then? If you follow the naming for the examples given, then Port Stephens seems the most natural, since that's its name. Unfortunately, that's now a disambig page. --AussieLegend (✉) 11:43, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

after all the moves and renames and thinking, where's the town page ? Dave Rave (talk) 23:19, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
