Initial comments
After a quick couple of read-throughs this article has the appearance of a good article: it appears to be well-referenced and well illustrated.

I will now do a more detailed check against WP:WIAGA, section by section, but leaving the WP:Lead until last. This might take a day or so; and during that time I will highlight below any "problems" that need to be addressed. Pyrotec (talk) 21:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will respond to any problems or issues. Thanks, Postoak (talk) 21:57, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I found a few rather minor problems, which are mentioned below. In view of this I'm going straight to an overall summary.


 * Exploration and settlement' -
 * Ref 1 is a broken web link. (fixed Postoak (talk) 01:37, 7 December 2009 (UTC))


 * Notes -
 * Refs 26 & 32 refer to Hardwick (2002), but that citation is undefined.(fixed Postoak (talk) 01:37, 7 December 2009 (UTC))

Although there were three very minor problems, the overall standard of the article is such that it is compliant with WP:WIAGA. I'm therefore awarding the article GA-status. Congratulations on the quality of the article. Pyrotec (talk) 22:24, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
