The article describes Wollaston as bounded by Sandridge Road to the north, Robertson Drive and the Preston River to the east, and the railway to the south. There is no official locality/suburb called "Wollaston". The area described falls within the southern third of the locality/suburb of East Bunbury; the official boundaries of can be viewed at City of Bunbury Intramaps, Landgate mapping and on road maps. The northern half of East Bunbury was known as Rathmines, and the article should include a descrition of both precincts.Rund717 (talk) 05:31, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Geez, great catch - thanks for both noticing and correcting the text. That's really embarrassing that it lasted this long.

I'm a bit bemused about where the original content came from - a search of the Government Gazette going back to 1980 shows no evidence of Wollaston having been a gazetted place since at least then then (although strangely enough, TransWA refers to it like it is today). The original ABS citation (which was the only source not about the historic church or the trains) was a dead link purportedly from 2001, but QuickStats shows no reference to any "Wollaston" in the 2001 census. I wonder if it was a local getting creative about citations? The Drover's Wife (talk) 07:00, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
