Talk:Tamar River

Only Crossing ?
Doesn't the West Tamar Road divide the South Esk River and the Tamar ? There is also a partial crossing, from the west bank to Tamar Island. --Biatch (talk) 03:03, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * By the "only crossing" it is referred to as the only bridge crossing from East to West across the Tamar, the west Tamar road i believe crosses the South Esk, even if it's only by a few meters they're calling it the South Esk, Tamar Island only is not accessible from the east so that is not classified as an East/West crossing.

Renaming under DPIPWE Dual Naming Policy
Tamar River was renamed kanamaluka on 19 Dec 2013 by the Tasmanian Nomenclature Board Confirmation Notice No 111.

Under Dual Naming policy the accepted name for the river is kanamaluka / River Tamar. Palawa Kani placenames are conventionally spelt without a capital but Wikipedia defaults to a capital in the title.

The Gazetting of the river as kanamaluka with the dual naming of kanamaluka / Tamar River can be viewed at Nomenclature Board of Tasmania.Sean Parker (talk) 11:27, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I have reverted the move. We use common names, not official names, here on Wikipedia. And "Tamar" is still the common name: e.g. See also Mount Wellington (Tasmania). StAnselm (talk) 09:29, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
