Talk:Moree, New South Wales

message: Moree was also one of the destinations of the famous 1965 Freedom Bus ride, an historic trip through northern NSW led by the late Charles Perkins to bring media attention to discrimination against Indigenous Australians.It exposed segregation at the Moree public swimming pool as well as pubs and theatres, where Aborigines were refused entry. At the Moree swimming pool, after a confrontation with the council and pool management, it was agreed that Indigenous children could swim in the pool outside school hours. However, this was immediately reversed when the bus left Moree. Jim Spigelman, one of the Freedom riders who later became Chief Justice of the NSW Supreme Court, was king hit by a local outside the Moree baths.
The above was removed by an anon IP editor as disputed.  See here for the edit.  Mention of the Freedom Bus trip is undoubtedly worth including in the article so if this can be sourced it certainly should be added back in.  Cheers, Mattinbgn\ talk 07:29, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To many Australians, if not most, the Freedom Rider incident is the only notable thing that ever happened in Moree.  The coverage needs to be improved, not deleted.--Grahamec 05:20, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I, for one, couldn't care less about the freedom rider stuff, but if the information presented is accurate, it has every right to be in the article. If you are concerned that it presents a negative view of Moree, I'd suggest that you contribute other subject matter (with appropriate references) to build the article up such that this freedom rider stuff is a less noticable small part of a much larger article. When was Moree established? By who? What are its past and present industries? There is plenty that could be added to the article. If you are able to find references that allow you to improve the freedom rider stuff and make it more neutral towards the town, you're entirely welcome to do that, too. :-) Oh, and please remember to sign your posts on talk pages. --Athol Mullen 13:27, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The bit about flood levels in 2021 does not make sense:
Flood levels on the Mehi river reached 14.2 metres or 46.6 feet on the 25th of March. (0.4m below the 1955 record of 10.85 metres or 35.6 feet)
The metric conversions are fine but the arithmetic is wrong.
