Devines hill
Because this is one of your first articles I will point these issues out to you rather than fixing them directly... Firstly, if the name of the article is a proper noun (place/preson's name) then use the usual capitalisation. You should move this article to Devines Hill, by going to Devines hill and using the Move tab. Move reason would be "Created with incorrect name".

Secondly, Ocean Shores goes to a disambiguation page. You should have used Ocean Shores, New South Wales, Australia, instead of Ocean Shores, New South Wales, Australia. Byron Bay should be Byron Bay, New South Wales and Tweed Heads should be Tweed Heads, New South Wales. This is because, you should avoid linking to redirects.

If you want to leave the state name out easily, use this format in the edit text: Tweed Heads, New South Wales - which shows up as Tweed Heads. The same effect works for articles like Mark Valera (van Krevel) where there is somethin in brackets in the article name, like this Mark Valera (van Krevel) -> Mark Valera.

Nice stub article as an early contribution, keep up the good work. If you could add a reference (maybe, Geographical Names Board of New South Wales?) that would really help (see WP:ATT).
