"It was from this land that William Lawson, Gregory Blaxland and William Charles Wentworth set out on their successful crossing of the Blue Mountains in 1813 and discovered the Bathurst Plains. The Lawson family crypt still exists today at St Bartholomew's Church, Prospect.[1]"
I propose to delete the first of these sentences as it is incorrect and second because it is not relevant. It was from William Lawson's home Veteran Hall, which is on the Western lower slopes of Prospect Hill (not in Greystanes suburb), that the expedition set out. There is persistent confusion between Veteran Hall and Grey Stanes, the latter being, as stated, the home of William Lawson's son Nelson Lawson. Building of Grey Stanes did not start until 1836. The Lawson crypt is nbot relevant to the Greystanes article.
If there is no comment I will make the deletion. Spathaky (talk) 06:45, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
- I have now found that the expedition's departure was from Blaxland's farm at Eastern Creek, though Lawson would have first left from his home Veteran Hall. Anyway this doesn't alter the fact that the article was incorrect and, as there has been no comment for a week, I have deleted as I said I would. Spathaky (talk) 11:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
