Looks like the folks behind this site know what kinda things a visitor to a new city, or a new region of the world, are looking for to best take advantage of their time there...

Thanks, Darren, I think this site could be very helpful for my trip to Australia in October.  I'll print out the pages for the places I'm going to before I go, and it'll give me an idea of what to see and what to avoid.

Great idea for a wiki.. I have to look at that later.
