 * Hey. Thanks for adding mention of the Morgan railway to the Mt Lofty Ranges page. I can't believe I forgot it, duh! Itsonlyme 16:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

No worries. I may have put it in the wrong place though - I think I put a northern ranges railway in the southern ranges section. Perhaps we need to split out a separate transport section. There also is/was a line to Burra (which might not have entered the Mt Lofty ranges), and was a line north from Eudunda to Robertstown or beyond I think. --Scott Davis Talk 23:00, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Loch Ness Well.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Loch Ness Well.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

 * Genuine and sincere apologies are due, M. OrphanBot. My concentration lapsed for a moment there. A public domain tag has now been duly added. Have a nice day! Itsonlyme 10:14, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Gawler Ranges
Hi. Could you please look at Gawler Ranges and fix or delete anything I got wrong? I created the stub to replace a redirect to Gawler Ranges National Park which itself is pretty tiny. I also created redirects from Gawler Craton and Gawler craton to Gawler Ranges. I confess I can't work out from reading craton if that was right, but they seem to be in about the same area. Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 13:42, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Yep, it's accurate and a perfect stub - yet another to be expanded! I have some photos which may go well there too. The Gawler Craton isn't really the same thing, so far as I know; the rock province not only stretches a long way north and northwest into (or more realistically, underneath) the salt lake country, it also covers the rest of the Eyre Peninsula to the south, and the northwest tip of the Yorke Peninsula boot at Corny Point is also part of it. The Ranges are made up of a volcanic intrusion which is just one (though major) part of the craton. But for now, I think your redirect is sensible; I don't know enough to split out a separate article for the province. Hopefully some real geologists will turn up soon. This PIRSA map might prove clearer than what I just tried to say! Itsonlyme 18:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. My knowledge was that four-wheel-drive tourists go to the Gawler Ranges, mineral explorers go to the Gawler Craton, and they both end up somewhere west of Port Augusta and north of the Eyre Highway. Minerals don't seem to follow either the areas or the boundaries on that map. It seems I got irritated by one redirect going to something only loosely related, and I've replaced it with another. I don't think I understand the concept of craton well enough to try to split them though. --Scott Davis Talk 06:35, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. Trick is that most outcropping rock is in the ranges, so if you're looking for deposits, it's an easy place to start. All the really promising mineral exploration is the expensive kind, using spiffy equipment to look underneath all the regolith which covers most of the craton. Itsonlyme 09:15, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice photo - thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 23:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Question about Rover Scout Expedition
Hi! My name is Cameron and I'm a South Australian Rover.

I noticed that you added the following sentence to the Wilpena Pound article: A traverse of the peaks from Reggie's Nob to Mount Abrupt is perhaps the most difficult walk; it was first performed by a party of Rover Scouts several decades ago.

I'd be very interested if you could provide any further information about this? Who it was, approximately how long ago it was, how long it took them, and anything more would be great.

If you could email me, that would be much appreciated.
