Where is this "St Paul's Cathedral" in Armidale where Fred Ward's brother is supposed to have been married ? St Peter's Cathedral was not built until 1878 St Mary and St Joseph's Cathedral was not built until the beginning of the 20th century.
:I notice that there is a St Paul's Presbyterian Church, but that was built in 1881.  Perhaps there was an earlier church of the same name? --Peacenik 00:39, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rewrite  

message: I wonder if anyone has ever noticed that Thunderbolt conforms to a mythic type, that of the Undying King? Think of King Arthur, Barbarossa, et al - rather than dying, the Undying King is spirited away (usually by supernatural helpers) to a land where he awaits the call to return and save his people. In more modern times the parallels are Elvis (coming soon to a supermarket near you), all those American POWs still living in the jungles of Laos (there's currently a website asking for volunteers to go rescue them), even Harold Holt (on his Russian submarine - which puts the Russians into the strange position of being the equivalent of the Lady of the Lake). If Fred had lived a few hundred years previous, he too could have become a demi-god. PiCo 09:32, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Surely it's pushing it a bit far to suggest that Sydney Harbour is shark infested in early September? Sure, it sounds good and makes the story more exciting but really you only get sharks inside the harbour in the summer months and even then the term "shark infested" is really rather sensationalist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.12.252.12 (talk) 03:26, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shark Infested? 

message: I once read or heard that Randolph Stow's novel, Midnite: The Story of a Wild Colonial Boy, was based on the legend of Captain Thunderbolt. I am not sure how to verify this claim, or if it can be added to the Wikipedia page on Captain Thunderbolt. Any ideas that might help? Bluebellrock (talk) 07:08, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I am hoping that someone with adequate knowledge of the topic can take a look at this text and decide what to do with each element, rather than have it either left as is or removed en-masse. Downsize43 (talk) 23:20, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removal of alternative theories 

message: text of article was modified in several edits to change 1836 to 1833.  A reference cited at the bottom mentions 1836 with uncertainty here.  The category is 1836.  Would anyone object to changing the text back to 1836 as the year of birth? 69.126.127.193 (talk) 03:33, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Australian Dictionary of Biography (http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A060379b.htm) has the year of birth as 1835, just to throw another snake in the ring. Downsize43 (talk) 11:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The article now claims 1833, 1835 and 1836. If it's uncertain, let's just say so. Pburka (talk) 16:26, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  year of birth 

message: I recently picked up a copy of the book "Thunderbolt, Scourge of the Ranges", by G. James Hamilton with Barry Sinclair, and was initially intrigued. However I found it to be highly opinionated and driven by an agenda of its own. I also found it to be poorly written, very difficult to read and therefore quickly put it back down again. My advice is to treat this material very cautiously. Msiminski (talk) 13:14, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

message: It seems worth noting that the full sized, original version of the image used in this article (visible here at the NSW State Library site) does not include the hat, which appears to have been edited onto the image at some later time. Is there a reason to use the modified image rather than the original? Maondoza (talk) 22:56, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
