Months after this request, I've finally got around to taking some photos of Wodonga. I'll trawl throught them and upload some this week. Blarneytherinosaur talk 06:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I've put two up. I'll see if there are any others that are worth putting up. If there is anything specific we need a photo of, I should be able to take one with a bit of notice. Blarneytherinosaur talk 01:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unreferenced nickname

I have removed the following from the opening paragraph: "Wodonga is also commonly referred to as "The Dong" by its residents." I've been about the local area for a while, and I've heard Wang, Yak and Tangam, but not this one. Anyone else? Blarneytherinosaur talk 01:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard it either, so it's going. --Robert Merkel 05:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Climate summary in infobox

I have changed the data in the info box regarding temperatures. Previously ridiculous values were there -max of 45, min of minus something, and rain of 75mm. I have amended the numbers to reflect the annual 'mean' maximum, and the annual mean minimum, and the annual mean rainfall, as per http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_082056.shtml

which is from the Wodonga measurement station, which stopped recording in 1984. An alternative would be to use the Albury Airport numbers which is still recording. Tonzo 07:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
