Talk:Red Centre

Are we sure this should be a redirect to Uluru? If you look at what links here, it seems like it should be more of a region? (WT-en) Jonboy 15:13, 9 March 2006 (EST)

I am user Teedeent - I forgot my password so have now created TNT account. My spam filter doesnt allow emails from wikivoyage to come through so my password is lost forever.

Have added a little information about visiting aboriginal communities, and made Indigenous History a new heading as I feel it is very important.

Title. I just feel that the current is too specific to Ulu r u. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 11:41, 5 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Maybe, but it's by far the best picture out of these three. Otherwise, I'd pick 2 ahead of 1 for 2nd place. Which one do you prefer? Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:52, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I too prefer 2 ahead of 1. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 12:17, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but do you prefer 2 to 0? Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:32, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I do. IMO, I don't really support having a banner depicting Ulu r u in three pages and it's way too specific to be representative of the region as a whole. There's also some banners in Talk:Watarrka National Park that can be recycled here. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 12:40, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 0, 2, 1 to me. 0 looks like the reddest, you know. Of the banners at Talk:Watarrka National Park, 3 would be the best fitting here IMO, but I see it's been in use in that article already. Vidimian (talk) 14:15, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Settlements
Charlotte Waters is listed as town, but the linked Wikipedia article says "Only a ruin remains today". If there is no town, just ruins of historic significance, shouldn't it be an other destination, or at least described as a former town? Yulara is described as a resort town, with nothing but tourists and the staff. Is Alice Springs the only real town in the area? –LPfi (talk) 11:34, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * In Australia, a settlement needs to have at least over 200 inhabitants to be considered a town, and over 10,000 inhabitants to be a city. In this case, Alice Springs is the only city (as it has over 10k inhabitants), and it's one of only two cities of its size in the Outback (the other being Broken Hill in New South Wales).


 * However there are several towns and communities with populations between 200 and 10,000 in the Red Centre such as the Ltyentye Apurte Community or Mutitjulu, but these are not destinations a tourist would want to go to. There is also Ghan, which is a community of 124, but all that's there for travellers in Ghan is a roadhouse.


 * For Charlotte Waters, it's definitely an Other destination – you need to drive 208 km on unsealed roads, and even then, it has a population of zero. But I don't think it passes wv:wiaa, so I don't think it should be linked. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 11:59, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
