Visitor numbers

Sydney Harbour has in excess of 30 million visitors a year. A strong source is needed to say that ~~Brisbane~~South Bank has more than that. DrKay (talk) 10:13, 12 February 2025 (UTC) Amended 19:14, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Where does it say that Brisbane has more than that? (And how on earth can anyone count the number of visitor to Sydney Harbour?) HiLo48 (talk) 22:40, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clarified. Per WP:BURDEN, if you wish to restore the claim that South Bank is the most visited attraction in Australia you must provide a source that explicitly supports that claim. (There are "about 50 million visits" every year to Sydney Harbour's Circular Quay, which is a "popular tourist and visitor destination". The claim that Brisbane's South Bank is the most visited attraction in Australia is not substantiated.) DrKay (talk) 19:14, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
