Alternate banner for this article
[edit]
Would the current banner look better or the one on the right? SHB2000 (talk) 07:05, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- The current banner is not a valid banner. It is not 7:1. The alternate banner also is not a valid banner because it is less than 1800 pixels wide. --FredTC (talk) 11:23, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- I see that the banner has now been replaced by a banner that is not >1800 pixels wide, making it a not valid Wikivoyage banner. I think a new banner page should be made that is 7:1 and >1800 pixels wide. --FredTC (talk) 12:16, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- I cropped another image from commons:Category:Innamincka, South Australia that could be made >1800px. Only a few images in that category can be cropped with a >1800px result. --FredTC (talk) 18:56, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- That is in Innamincka but not on Strzelecki Track. That's on South Terrace SHB2000 (talk) 10:54, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- If the 3rd (trading post) banner is not on the Strzelecki Track, then we should go with the 2nd (alternate) banner, which is better than what we have now. Ground Zero (talk) 15:57, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- We cannot go for the 2nd, because it is not 7:1 and >1800 (see: Wikivoyage:Banner Expedition). --FredTC (talk) 16:26, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- The first one looks ugly to me. The 3rd isn't on Strzelecki Track. (There's no fuel on this track so this is how I'm judging this) SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 11:18, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, nr 1 does not look beautifull, but it shows something similar to what I see using Street View at the beginning of the track (see: here). It can also be expected that dust clouds can occur there. So, being not beautifull, it does show what one might expect to experience over there. But maybe you can find a better image when you look at this: c:Category:Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park. It is one of the categories of nr 1 and has many images that can be cropped into a nice looking pagebanner. --FredTC (talk) 09:32, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- @SHB2000 By selecting 1 . from c:Category:Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, you selected one that is over 100 km south of Lyndhurst. Maybe you should try to locate a photo closer to the track from that Commons category. --FredTC (talk) 11:22, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Reason to drive this track
[edit]What's missing from this itinerary is a remark about why you would want to take it. I suppose there's much beauty to be seen, but something should be mentioned. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:00, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
