Introduction Neutrality ?
The Gold Coast region remained largely uninhabited by Europeans until 1823 when explorer John Oxley landed at Mermaid Beach.
Using the article itself, shouldn't the introduction start like The Gold Coast is the ancestral home of a number of Indigenous clans of the Yugambeh people, including the Kombumerri, Bullongin, and Tulgi-gi-gin clans. Europeans arrived in 1823 when explorer John Oxley landed at Mermaid Beach.
instead of unnecessarly focusing on Europeans by saying "largely unhabited by Europeans" ? :o
Both are uncited, but the statement about the Indigenous people is cited in the History of Gold Coast article (Cunningham, M 1969 A Description of the Yugumbir Dialect of Bandjalang. University of Queensland Papers 1:69–122).

"The" Gold Coast
The name of the city is "City of Gold Coast", "the Gold Coast" is a colloquial name, but in all cases "Gold Coast" is the common name. I think the "The" should be removed from the article text. 93.159.251.2 (talk) 08:04, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
