Talk:La Perouse, New South Wales

message: I'd love to see much more on this page about the Indigenous history of the Area - such as the land rights struggle and all that. Going to a bushwalk by a man who has deep roots to this place, but that doesn't count as a "valid source" does it... until somebody publishes a paper.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.48.201 (talk) 10:03, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I've just been told that some tiny area in that region is actually a French territory proclaimed by La Perouse. Is this true?
A: yes, if you go there, there is a plaque explaining the history.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.197.97.177 (talk) 23:31, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Pop culture

message: There are a couple of problems, firstly the name of the man himself (Lapérouse). The Wikipedia page on him also seems to have his name incorrectly formatted, hence the wikipedia link then displays incorrectly. In this edit to overcome that problem it has been placed in a standard html format to 'hide' that issue.
The information in this edit also seeks to expand on the current content to both give more information but also to endeavour to clarify soem issues that appear to commonly be misunderstood, I am not suggesting that this article has presented those historical inconsistancies. One such issue is that of the common belief that Lapérouse was despatched by France to lay claim to Terra Australis but arrived to find it was already new south wales. Historical records do not appear to support this idea. Rather Lapérouse was on a scientific mission.  Not withstanding this such missions also often had a brief to find new lands and Lapérouse was under instructions to seek out new lands for France in the South pacific. However it appears that he was actually despatched to Terra Australis to observe the British establishing the colony of NSW rather than to claim the place in the name of France. Hence my edits seek to clearly state this. (L’Expédition de Lapérouse. Qui était ce grand explorateur que Louis XVI avait envoyé découvrir le monde avec l’élite scientifique de l’époque ? Une expédition d’envergure à laquelle fut associée l’Académi)
Some accounts state they french party built 2 longboats at Botany bay, others say 1.
In regard to the naming problem I have left notes on the [Talk:Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse] page hoping to get some feedback from other editors on this naming issue.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Felix505 (talk • contribs) 04:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  South-East 

message: La Perouse is in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. The article about South-Eastern Sydney has been nominated for deletion and merger into the main Eastern Suburbs page, as it appears that so-called South Eastern Sydney is at best an unofficial subregion of the Eastern Suburbs.

replies: text: The anon IP editor has been pushing this concept of South Eastern Sydney for weeks. I don't support retaining the article because it's not an official title and not backed by reliable sources. LibStar (talk) 03:27, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It is easy to find government maps of the Eastern Suburbs (and these generally extend all the way to south to La Perouse). But it is hard to find maps of so-called South Easern Sydney or South East Sydney. The closest I have come to finding a map is the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District map, but this map includes all of the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner City, and large amounts of South Sydney.
