Annual Manangatang Races

If we're going to mention sporting events like the Annual Manangatang Races, which, up until now I had never heard of, shouldn't there also be mention of Victoria's bigger sporting events, like the Melbourne Cup, Australian Open, and the (motorcycle and Formula One) Grands Prix?

Largest city in Australia

Latest comment: 6 months ago5 comments4 people in discussion

Hello all

Please note that according to the official ABS data, Sydney is the largest city in Australia. This has been thoroughly dicussed on the Sydney and Melbourne Talk pages. The official data is here.

Other measures say Melbourne is bigger today . The difference is small. I've thought about this and begun to feel that it's a silly competition. What's more significant about Australia is that its two biggest cities are almost the same size. And both fairly large by global standards. I wonder if we could start to say saying something more along those lines in all the articles that mention these things. HiLo48 (talk) 11:17, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
