Distance from Melbourne to Sydney

Hi guys, the distance between Sydney and Melbourne is different on the Melbourne and Sydney Misplaced Pages pages.

They should be the same.

I've also flagged this in the Melbourne Misplaced Pages Talk Page.

Infobox images

I made an edit that swaps out the skyline image from 2023 with one from 2021, which I preferred as it showed much more of the skyline, including Sydney's new tallest building of One Barangaroo. Upon looking at the images further I think the current pic captures a pretty good portion of the skyline (and has a bit of One Barangaro in it regardless) so I'm no longer inclined to change it.

However, I do think we should swap the placements of the Sydney Harbour picture and the skyline, going with the convention that the first picture on a city's article is that city's skyline. Let me know if this is fine. LivinAWestLife (talk) 01:35, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Actually I prefer the top picture to be the one with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge because these are the two most iconic images of Sydney. And the skyline picture could be of any major city anywhere in the world. We don't have to follow convention. Sydney is not like any other city: it has the opera house and harbour bridge!
