thread_title: Beramba

message: I removed the hyphen.  
* "then British colony": The "then" refers to "British colony", not just to "British".  It means that NSW was a British colony at that time.  When you read on, you discover it later became part of Australia.  That's the meaning we're wanting to put across.
* "then-British colony": Due to the hyphen, the "then" is now attached only to "British".  It suggests this colony was British at that time, but later became a colony of a different country.  Definitely not the meaning we're after.
*What complete nonsense.  Read again.  Then British colony (did what?).  Without the hyphen, the phrase makes no sense.  If you want to, you can do "then-British-colony."131.96.15.42 21:46, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yes, I knew that, actually.  I was talking about over-hyphenation, a relatively recent phenomenon.  JackofOz 02:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The second sentence reads strangely "he was the last Australian to have seen action overseas" I know something else is meant to be there it already says he is the oldest. perhaps someone who has a little more knowledge could correct this typo, otherwise a great read.--Matt 09:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
