Talk:Sunbury, Victoria

message: Wikipedia loses its credibility through this stuff.  What is the point?  Can we have talk of good swimming locations for Walhalla, Dubbo, Cunnamulla, Launceston, Christchurch, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Monserrat, Rio De Janeiro, Santiago, Fairbanks and Dar Al-Salaam el Rabwa too.  With thanks.   GR
I agree - I have lived in Sunbury for over 30years and I wouldn't want to swim in this so-called swimming location. Stevefrommelbourne (talk) 10:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I have read this section several times and there is no reference to 'culture'. This section discusses the demographics of Sunbury, rather than it's culture. Again, after living in this town for over 30 years, I would suggest that the demographics of Sunbury up until the mid-1980's was predominantly white anglo-saxon and some other minor ethnic groups. It has only been in the last 20 years that Sunbury has seen an increase of other nationalities. Stevefrommelbourne (talk) 10:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I was perhaps a bit eager to add my bit on Sunbury's Aboriginal history - I propose the following with appropriate references included -
"The Sunbury area has several important Aboriginal archaeological sites, including five earth rings, which were identified in the 1970s and 80s, and believed to have been used for ceremonial gatherings. Records of corroborees and other large gatherings during early settlement attest to the imporatance of the area for Aboriginal people of the Wurundjeri tribe.Meyer Eidelson, The Melbourne Dreaming: A Guide to the Aboriginal Places of Melbourne, Aboriginal Studies Press, Canberra, (1997; 2000). Bowdler, Sandra, 1999, A study of Indigenous ceremonial ("Bora") sites in eastern Australia, Centre for Archaeology, University of Western Australia, paper delivered at "Heritage Landscapes: Understanding Place &Communities" conference, Southern Cross University, Lismore, November 1999 Frankel, David  1982  Earth rings at Sunbury, Victoria.
