Strawberry Marshmallow doesn't refer to Eromanga, QL.
I got rid of reference to Strawberry Marshmallow Episode #2, since it is apparent to be misunderstandings. The fact is, the referred geological feature is Erromango island in Micronesia, which has been traditionally transliterated "Eromanga" into Japanese. The captcha found in the link shows it is an island, not an inland site. --Aphaia (talk) 03:57, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Furtherest town from the ocean in Australia?
Eromanga claims to be the furthest town from the ocean in Australia, but this is disputed. So I got out Google Earth and loaded the Qld Globe (the Qld Govt official spatial information, which includes the gazetted location of Eromanga and the coastline. Looking at it and using the Google Earth measurement tool, the shortest distance I could find was 790 km from Eromanga to an inlet in St Lawerence, Qld. The article Poles of inaccessibility suggest that Papunya is the most inaccessable township in Australia. Again using Google Earth, I found that Papunya was about 930 km from the sea (Great Australian Bight, Gulf of Carpentaria, Timor Sea). Alice Springs (an obvious contender) appears to be about 900 km from the Great Australian Bight and Gulf of Carpentaria). The only way I can see the Eromanga claim to be truthful is if you adopt some peculiar definition of "ocean" that rules out the St Lawrence coastline or some peculiar definition of town that rules out places like Alice Springs or Papunya. Would others please check my measurements to confirm/deny? Kerry (talk) 02:06, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I guess that maybe there could be some curvature of the Earth that gives a difference result to a flat map. Perhaps we should measure using Great Circle Route? Kerry (talk) 02:11, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Eromanga, Queensland
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Eromanga, Queensland's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Census2016": From Jundah, Queensland:  From Shire of Quilpie:  From Windorah:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:01, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
