I thought that the culture section needed a little more than 4 words before it appears in the main article so I've moved it here:
Why isn't the Australian pronounciation first? The article is about an Australian city and the other pronounciation is considered incorrect in Australia. Bobbbcat ( talk) 00:53, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
/ɛər/: 'are' in 'bare'. It doesn't seem to involve a trilled /r/, even here in Scotland. I've always heard the place pronounced like the plural of cairn (not of can), and think that should also be included as the most common pronunciation globally, even if we explain that it's regarded locally as incorrect.

For an article about a fairly major place, it's missing a lot of citations and has been for a long time. Please add citations where you can or delete the material if you cannot find content. In particular, be careful about any citation you find that was written AFTER the information entered Wikipedia as there is a risk that unverified info has been added to Wikipedia, then copied by others, and that copy is then used as a "citation" in Wikipedia. If we allow that, Wikipedia becomes a self-perpetuating load of rubbish. Kerry ( talk) 01:25, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
