Australian Estates ? edit
Is this the same company as Australian Estates No. 1 Store or Australian Estates No. 2 Store?Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 05:31, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- Good question. It seems likely but [citation needed] :-) I will see if I can find a company history that links them all together. Kerry (talk) 08:51, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- I can't draw an exact connection, even though it's obvious that it is, but from the sources I can find I suspect it's because they were a pretty large company so there's not necessarily a reason why anything would refer to one specific pastoral property and a specific woolstore in the same context. The simplest solution there might be to create an article on Australian Estates - they were big enough to warrant it and it would effectively tie these articles together without having to prove it across degrees of separation. They also owned other notable properties we have an article on - e.g. Thylungra ([1]), and ones we might, such as the Pleystowe sugar mill. However, it seems like there were other companies with similar names in the pastoral industry, so we should be a little bit careful. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:18, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- pastoral industry" should also be explained even if it is just a national cooloqialism.Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 18:41, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
