Assessment comments

the agricultural area stated was actually in fog dam, not humpty doo, fogg dam is situated about 20km east of humpty doo on the edge of the adelaide river floodplains.

Yes, but it was near the Humpty Doo Station which is where the name Humpty Doo was first used.Bduke 01:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Is the new item that Mick Dundee was from Humpty Doo fact? I lived in Humpty Doo for many years over the appropriate period and I have never heard of it. Yes, the snake came from Graham Gow's Reptile World in Humpty Doo and the Buffalo was in a Zoo not too far away, but I never heard of any other link from the film to Humpty Doo.Bduke 10:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I've removed it pending verification. Ambi 01:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Name origins

The article doesn't answer the question that's always uppermost in my mind when thinking of this place, which is of course: Where did the name come from??? Anyone? Lee M 14:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I lived in Humpty Doo for 18 years and I think this source has it right. I never heard of any other explanations. --Bduke 21:01, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Thanks, guys. My curiosity is satisfied, and thanks to the updated article so is everyone else's. Lee M 01:32, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Triple J AWOL

Should there be an item about that? http://triplejawol.typepad.com/awol/humpty_doo.html Lazybeam 13:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

They are calling it Humpty Doo, but the concert is at Fred's Pass. It does not seem notable enough to me anyway. It is just a one-off concert. --Bduke 22:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
