Sprucing up the article[edit]

I noticed that there is very little information on the recreational activities available at Fraser's. I've created a bare bones summary, but perhaps those who have had more information about any activities there can contribute? --K-Rio 11:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've also noticed that the intro page, particularly the history of Fraser's Hill does not cite any references. --K-Rio (talk) 06:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've done an almost complete rewrite today, adding most of the citations. I've blanked the assessments (formerly Start-class), inviting others to re-assess the article. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:58, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
