Talk:Redland Shire, Queensland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I hope that my initial effort will not be the last and I would encourage others to refine what I have put down. Much of the information comes from the Council Library's excellent Local History collection and the many studies that have been done at both the State and Council level trying to cope with the influx of population. The small section on the Russell Island land scams could easily be treated as a page of its own. The scam has entered Australian folklore and the stigma continues to depress the price of land on the island. A great story if someone would like to work on it. --Leeshipley 20:34, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Probably because the bulk of the article is from Council sources, it omits criticism from environmental activist groups. The Raby Bay fiasco would also be worth mentioning, along with its relationship to Joh. Also missing is federal electoral information; the annual strawberry festival (and its decline) and perhaps some information on climate. --DLeonard
