Einen Ort namens Boora Boora kennt weder Google Maps noch Google.--Kompakt 15:23, 16. Nov. 2011 (CET)
- Scheint trotzdem richtig zu sein:
- "Around 1837 Dunlop's health began to deteriorate after he got tetanus from an animal bite. He retired to his farm "Boora Boora" at Kincumber in August 1847. He died there on 22nd September 1848, and is buried at St. Paul's graveyard, Kincumber.
- Dunlop's wife Jean (also known as Janet or Jane) died at Kincumber on 29th October 1859. As the couple had no children, the property passed to John Dunlop. A descendant still lives in the house.
- The Kincumber Post Office operated from "Boora Boora" between 1869 and 1894, before popular pressure forced removal of the service to the centre of the village of Kincumber.
- The original farmhouse at "Boora Boora" stood on the same site as the current cottage. Around 1908 the old Dunlop house was replaced by a new weatherboard structure. "Boora Boora" is a heritage property listed with Gosford City Council." (History of Kincumber).
- Es ist aber wohl zu unbekannt, um hilfreich zu sein. Ich ersetze es durch "Kincumber" -- Sch (Diskussion) 21:48, 26. Feb. 2013 (CET)
