message: There's a new poll here that would (hopefully) end all this "Indigenous" vs. "Aborigine" controversy. Feel free to vote. Zarbat 09:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: Whilst it is good to see that editors are adding to the history of Australia with this page, it suffers quite a lot with verification problems.  It is simply not good enough to add names of locations where the name only sounds of Aboriginal origin - from that perspective places like Nullabor will be considered in the group and the list will be allowed to grow as multiples of error.  I propose that editors (I will be doing this also) check and where verification is given at the article space related to the name the names should stay - where none is given then I (and any other editor so interested) should and will be removing the detail.--VS talk 05:06, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: *Artarmon
The name Artarmon is based on the name of an estate in Ireland, so it is not aboriginal.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.210.17.14 (talk) 21:39, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I have been learning Gaelic , the language of my ancestors . 
There is two words that we have thought to be Aboriginal , but in the Gaelic language , their Origen and meaning is clear .
Uluru , or Ayers Rock  the explorers language just means “ all red “.
Bunya Mountain - the word bunya in Gaelic means “milk “ , and no doubt that Mr. Petrie was aware that the fruit of the bunya nut is the same colour as milk . I’m betting that Mr Petrie came up with the word bunya
