Little sign of the "county" field - investigate?
Wanting to see what the more prolific Oz contributors are putting in the "county" field, I scrolled down the birthplaces of people from A to "Bellamy" and found practically nothing. Some years ago we spent some time working on divisions of NSW (after seeing that Wikipedia did not have a standard division). I wonder what's happened to them.

I'd like one of our SMW experts to produce a table on this page showing the full stated location for all people who had an event in Australia that had an entry in the "county" field. Judging by my scrolling, noted above, it won't be a very big table. Maybe it will provide evidence for a recommendation that we don't need a "county" (or LGA or equivalent) for any event where a locality in Australia is recorded.
