 Regarding Nundah 

Dear Lanky

It is interesting that you are happy to have Mr Swan's electoral office listed as the ""major attraction"" in previous versions of the  Nundah page but have removed reference to Mr Swan from the Gordon Nuttall page.  I believe this to be the main reason for your section deletion on the Gordon Nuttall page.  I feel sad for a community with an electoral office as their major attraction.  

What irks me even more is your sloppy version of Nundah history.  Leichhardt didn't simply ""visit the mission"".  The Prussian Ludwig Leichhardt visited the mission during his historic expedition to the north of Australia.

Furthermore, they were not ""German"" Lutherans.  One cannot emigrate from a country that has not yet been formed (Germany was formed in 1871). They were largely from Silesia i.e. Silesians (go to the Nundah cemetery you are so proud of and read some gravestones) and victims of religious persecution by the Prussians. See the Barossa Valley page for a more correct description of the Silesian emigrants. They were categorized as Germans by the British.

I congratulate you on your contributions to the Nundah page but this sloppy research by the Nundah history crew is often recanted by others.  I'll let you fix the Nundah page.

cheers
