Talk:Westgarth, Victoria

'It was decorated in the style of the architect of Canberra, Walter Burley Griffin.'

I contest this assertion on three counts.

1: The Westgarth is an art nouveau cinema. It does not look like Griffin work. The Griffins did not work in an art nouveau style. 2. Canberra is generally and in my opinion appropriately attributed to Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin. 3. Neither Griffin was an 'architect of Canberra'. An architect designs buildings. There is not one Griffin-designed building in Canberra

Westgarth is a locality of Northcote, not a suburb in itself. I am in the process of migrating some of the content into the Northcote article. --Biatch 01:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not. it took masses of time to set it up, and no, it is not a suburb of northcote if you read the heritage studies - it came first. 30 May 2007,

At present Northcote is the gazetted suburb - my suggestion would be to maintain the Westgarth page (given its bulk and relative independence from the Northcote page) but fix the name so that it does not appear as a suburb. Orderinchaos 06:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I've done this. Orderinchaos 07:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone have any further info on the World War II tunnel? Is Mark Rawson(?) and his team still escavating it? Just wondering what became of the project. -SuperHonky
