About me Hello, I'm a Wikivoyager based in Sydney. I'm lucky to have traveled extensively in North America, Southeast Asia and a bit of traveling to Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East. An interesting piece of trivia about me is that I have traveled to all four hemispheres, dipped my feet in all five oceans and visited every Australian state/internal territory except WA. That said, there are still many places that I dream of – southern and east Africa, most of South America, Antarctica, and many European and Asian countries that I hope to visit sometime soon. If you haven't inferred the meaning from the images and banner, mountains always have a special place in my travel journal even though I despise the cold. Tropical areas, especially areas with low-lying waters also have a special place in my heart – I'm a person who loves dipping their feet in bodies of water. I don't have a specific area of interest; as such, I routinely edit destinations from all over the world, though I do work a lot more about my home Australia (specifically NSW and TAS) than other places. Remote, obscure, faraway places do also fancy me; I've started articles for many remote destinations that I'll probably never visit like Île Amsterdam, Russian Arctic National Park, the Crozet Islands or many destinations in Nunavik in QC just to name a few. Nevertheless, I still do a bit of Mosifying and copyediting throughout the site. I also like working on park articles; I've created about 10% of this site's park articles. Feel free to give me suggestions on national parks to create (on my talk page) – or better yet, plunge forward and help expand Wikivoyage's coverage of park articles. There's also an expedition for that, which I started. I'm someone who's particularly interested in geopolitics, astronomy, paleontology, caves, archeology and geology (though none of them are my professions). You may see me working on articles about these subjects. I'm also interested in random bits of trivia along with history and politics although you may not see me actively on those last to categories – that's what Wikipedia is for. I can help out with articles, templates or anything; I'll be sure to help out to the best of what I can. Either leave a message on my talk page, or leave me a {{ping}}. I also make .json lines (line markers) for itineraries as well, and can do one upon request using geojson.io, a useful tool to get a line marker. If you need any help with this, leave me a message and check out this easy tutorial. I can also help out with mapshapes, and with getting you started on making one of these mapshapes, whether it's using OpenStreetMap data or drawing it out. Oh and not to forget, I also have a GitHub page too. Been dormant for a while though. All files are under a CC-BY SA 3.0 AU License. My Wikimedia activity I'm honored to have made over 175,000 edits as of throughout Wikimedia. Editing Wikivoyage might be a hobby that I treasure, but I also equally enjoy editing other WMF projects. Wikimedia Commons is my second home wiki, where I mainly move and categorize files and have made over 30,000 edits. I frequently lurk the other projects listed below, though I'm not super active on those wikis. I'm also a global rollbacker. Other WMF sites that I edit: Meta Wikimedia Commons (my second home wiki) English Wikibooks English Wikipedia French Wikivoyage Out of the five wikis listed above, I am an administrator on the English Wikibooks and Meta-Wiki and a file mover and patroller on Wikimedia Commons; see my Meta-Wiki userpage for what I can, can't, will and won't do as an admin. I also have rollback on a few other projects, such as the English Wikipedia. I also sporadically edit other wikis such as the Simple English Wikipedia or the Italian Wikivoyage (despite my it-0). Licensing statement I release my content under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License as per the Terms of Use unless explicitly stated and release my static maps under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license unless it's a derivative. I do not wish to release my content in the public domain, and so you will need to somehow give attribution. This includes maplines I've made, or any content I add that is my own work. My cropped banners are a slightly different case. Use whatever license was used on the original. For my other uploads of my own work, you need to attribute me as "SHB2000". Attributing "Wikimedia Commons" is simply not good enough.

Docent I'm a docent for the following pages: La Perouse Sydney Sydney/Darling Harbour Sydney/Sydney Olympic Park Sydney Harbour National Park This section is about me being a Docent. If your looking for some information, this is the section To ask information, just simply leave a message on my talk page by clicking the button below! If you want me to email you, then yes, I can, however, to email me, you'll need to be autoconfirmed (have at least had your account for 4 days). Emails disabled globally for new users. Keep in mind, that I might not know the answer to everything, but I will try my best to answer it. Notable things I've done I've created about 10% of all park articles and 1% of total articles on the English Wikivoyage. I made all articles breadcrumbed under Australia are usable or above. This doesn't include articles not breadcrumbed under Australia, but part of Australia such as Heard Island and McDonald Islands The number of French national parks that had articles went from zero, to eleven, having created all of them, all are either usable or higher. I founded the Wikivoyage:National Parks Expedition. Many of the maplines such as the one on Quebec Route 389, E8 through Finland and Norway or Oxley Highway were traced by me. Adelaide was mostly districtified by me, along with some assistance, while I entirely created the districts for Canberra. I made some heavy structural changes to the region structure of Guadeloupe. I introduced the informative article status, which is slowly being rolled out. Languages I'm a native speaker of English and have an intermediate knowledge of French. That being said, I'm not the best copyeditor out there, but I do translate articles from other language Wikivoyages and Wikipedias to improve Wikivoyage's coverage of places. I use DeepL or ChatGPT as my translator, which is mostly accurate and does the job. My preferred dialect of English is my native Australian English, but my American English is just as good (perhaps because I watch way too many American movies). I might occasionally use American terms and spellings when I'm unaware, except for some cases where I just think the AusE term looks or feels wrong.

Articles and pages “ That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives… There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. ” —Carl Sagan, Voyager 1's final image of Earth on Valentine's Day in 1990. These include ones that I have either created or heavily worked on. Key: Guide or (g): 47 Star or (s): 3 Featured or (f): 4 Numbers here include articles created on the French Wikivoyage.

Current projects Clean up Cape Breton Island's listings Canberra districts Get New South Wales to star status. Get San Carlos de Bariloche, Gili Air and San Pedro de Atacama to dotm-standard. Articles to create Follow-up list w:Category:State parks of Utah and w:Category:Canyons and gorges of Australia de:Kategorie:Vollständige Artikel and de:Kategorie:Empfehlenswerte Reiseführer w:List of museums in the Australian Capital Territory and w:Category:Fast-food chains of Australia Guide topics that have not been featured yet /NSW and /TAS As of November 5, 2024, there are 32,832 articles on Wikivoyage w:Category:Buildings and structures in the Danish West Indies Country projects Basically get all articles from these destinations to usable or near usable – so not plain blank outlines. Australia - Done Réunion - in progress Started: Papua New Guinea New Zealand New Caledonia National parks Completed: France Tasmania (except Strzelecki and Savage River NPs) Doing: Denmark User:SHB2000/Danish national parks Seychelles – w:List of national parks of Seychelles and https://www.snpa.gov.sc/index.php Future: South Australia South Africa Algeria Useful: https://www.abc.net.au/news/abcmyphoto/ – if one of the Insta-worthy photos doesn't have an article, find where it's located, and create it. If it's a barebone-usable, then expand it.

Cardinal point records Northernmost – Tromsø, Troms og Finnmark. (≈69.695°) Southernmost – Lumsden, Southland (≈-45.75°) Easternmost – Auckland (let's hope a future trip to Fiji sometime in the near future will change this) Westernmost – Point Reyes National Seashore, California Other miscellaneous records This could go on, but I will hopefully add more to this: Longest flight – SYD IATA - OSL IATA (21.5 hours) Closest to equator – Sentosa, Singapore (≈1°) Highest point in elevation – Yosemite National Park or Westland Tai Poutini National Park (> 3,100 metres) Lowest point in elevation (land) – Badwater Basin, Death Valley (-87 metres) Lowest point in elevation (including subsea tunnels) – Oslofjord Tunnel, Oslo (-134 metres)* Longest train ride – Sydney - Newcastle (2 hours) Longest bus ride – Cairns - Townsville (6 hours) Longest journey by bike – Sydney CBD - Parramatta (60+ kilometres) Longest trail by foot (timewise) – multiple trails, some of which are private (45 km, 4 days) Longest distance on unsealed roads – 253 km (Mungo National Park) Highest temperature – 52.5 °C (126.5 °F) (Western Sydney) Lowest temperature – −5 °C (23 °F) (Mt Kosciuszko) *I've been in many subsea Norwegian road tunnels, but cannot find the depth for all tunnels that I've visited
