Talk:Frankston, Victoria

message: Note that Frankston is not a suburb of Melbourne (according to the City of Frankston, and Vic Roads). It is a separate city.
: We use the ABS and Department of Local Government definition of the Melbourne metropolitan area, which ends at Casey to the southeast and Mornington Peninsula to the south - it is confusing as several entities (Frankston, Stonnington, Boroondara, Darebin, Wyndham etc) are called cities from a local government point of view but are actually metropolitan councils within Melbourne. The suburb of Frankston is very different to the City of Frankston. Note this problem isn't exclusive to Melbourne, we have occasional issues regarding Rockingham (a far southern part of Perth metro) in the WA project. Orderinchaos 07:21, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Not a suburb

message: There are more landmarks in Frankston that listed here for sure. What about:
* Frankston Waterfront
* Peninsula Centre (Ok, it's ugly, but a very well known landmark)
* Frankston Arts Centre
* Bayside Shopping Centre
* Karingal Shopping Centre
Frankston High School is also one of the top government schools in the state.
Anyone got any others? --Commking 10:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Frankston isn't Noosa mate, but it's not Dandenong either. Whatever the opinion, they are Landmarks. Thanks for your "contribution"! --Commking 22:33, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Landmarks

message: Everybody, except Vicroads, knows Eastlink will cause traffic problems at the end of the Frankston Freeway. Our Federal member, Bruce Billson, has taken on the task of getting everybody together to try to get the freeway built, bypassing Frankston and Mooroduc Road. Personally I think it's a stunt with no chance of success, but I hope I'm wrong. I think I'd like to add this long planned freeway to the article, as part of a larger section on Frankston's transport links. good idea or not? --Commking 00:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article definitely needs a Transport section, not least because Frankston provides the only real north-south land transport corridors through to/from the peninsula (with the exception of Dandenong-Hastings Road, which bypasses Frankston). --ozzmosis 05:57, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Frankston Freeway / Mornington Peninsula Freeway Link

message: Where has the term 'Frankstonians' come from? Frankstonian is a rubbish term, no such thing at all. bloody made up lies,  Frank stoner would be more applicable. REF  All the drug effected idiots in frankston.
Why not Frankstoners?

replies: text: Ah, yeah, there is that. I can't say I've ever read it (or indeed said it like that), in conversations it's always seemed to jump that with a bit of a mumble becoming Frankston'rs...or something like that...but yes, Frankstonians...or just Frankston residents is a far less...inflammatory title. --Tangerineduel 12:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have spent some time removing a large (approx 20 images) gallery that sat under the "History" subheading in which another user had, a few months ago and for reasons unknown, decided to collect pretty much every image on the page under, and I have restored all of these images to their prior (at 1 May 2021) various positions.
As one large gallery these images no longer had any context, and reduced the overall page quality, since relevant text no longer had associated images (where available) and also turned most of the remaining page into an unrelenting scroll of black and white text.
Back where they are now they have context again. For example, historic images now accompany relevant history text, wartime images accompany wartime text, a pic of Gregory Peck in On the Beach now sits adjacent to the text about that movie, images of local geography are in that section, the landmark section has a picture of a local landmark, and so on. With relevant images located throughout the page it also breaks it up visually and improved the overall experience.
