[edit] Image

I noticed the current image which is fair use replaced the previous image which was a free image. The new image may seem more encyclopedic, but the old image is not too bad and may be better since it shows a photo that a wikipedia editor has taken, rather than one copied from a site. Perhaps both could be used in the article? --Astrokey44 09:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Larry

The cyclone did not devastate the northern Queensland coast but rather the region surrounding Innisfail. Northern Queensland is a region with a massive coastline that a single cyclone could not devastate as a whole.

[edit] Bulletin articles and book

We had a references section with one item, a link to an article in The Bulletin. Unfortunately, that link is dead. (In fact, all older URLs of the form http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/bulletin/site/articleIDs/01BD9A608862B528CA25714B0006FF58 are now dead; the Bulletin website now uses URLs of the form http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=138289.) This Google search finds all the Bulletin articles containing "Cosgrove" and "Peter Daley".

It turns out that the article ("Cyclone Cosgrove" by Paul Daley[1], 18-Apr-2006) is now available here. I've edited the article to use that link as a cite for Cosgrove not going into politics nor to Yarralumla.

Some of the other links found by that Google search are probably also useful. For instance, Cosgrove's last stand (by Paul Daley, 19-Jan-2005) looks very useful ... except that the first half is missing. (Lost in the transition to the new website layout?) Arrgh.

I've also mentioned his (rather good) autobiography, My Story, which is currently on the Australian bestseller lists. I've just read it, which is what brought me to this article. Cheers, CWC 14:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Did I say "rather good"? I should have said "superb". CWC 12:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
