[edit] Home of the world's largest eagle?
reference the claim of large eagles: I could not find anything via "q=%22world%27s+largest+eagle%22+cowra"btnG=Search"meta= Google on the world's largest eagle and a link to Cowra (other than this article).
At http://www.birdphotos.com.au/harold.htm has a picture of an eagle shot in Cowra in 1935 that measured 7 foot 2 inches (220cm) from wing tip to wing tip. However Harpy Eagles in South America are said to have a wing span of 8.2 feet or 2.5 m.[1] So this Cowra eagle was large, but almost cetainly not the largest. For the moment have removed the assertion. Please cite sources if editing back in. Note that same editor (User:Patricknoddy) added a reference with broken link to Taree, New South Wales about the world's largest oyster - he meant the "big oyster" tourist attraction but I "q=%22big+eagle%22+cowra"btnG=Search"meta= do not believe there is a "big eagle" tourist attraction. --AYArktos 23:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cowra Suicide Rate
I quote from the article, "Cowra also has an unusually high suicide rate compared to metro, and other similar size country centers." Could you provide a reference to back this up. How is it relevant to the Cowra breakout? - well it not but this page is about Cowra and not the Breakout anyway.
