Warami,

I'm from Sydney, Australia and my purpose here is to try and create an article for every single outback town and Tourist Drive in Australia. I prefer they/them pronouns but I don't mind if you say he/him pronouns to refer to me. I detest vandalism and wrong information. If you look at my en.wikipedia contributions here as you can tell my job is to mainly fight vandalism.

I've visited 180 out of the 10000 beaches in Australia (1.8%) and hoping to make it to 300 by the end of 2023 and going to 1000 Aussie beaches in my lifetime.

I also hope to become an admin one on this site. Fingers crossed. Hopefully by 2022 Feb

I'll also openly admit my silliest mistake I've made on Wikivoyage – Here

Tap your opal card if you can get there. Not to worry, ferry services have been put on a halt. A picture of the Parramatta wharf flooding in March 2021

Thoughts on editing

As an editor, I enjoy:

• writing in lively style about places I know or interesting Aussie places.
• writing article leads
• adding listings (except coordinates)
• contributing to history, infrastructure and aviation-related articles and sections.
• welcoming new users to Wikivoyage and Wikipedia.
• dealing with problematic edits (yes, it's one of my strengths and you can see this at enwiki)
• writing about big sculptures (Australia's big things)
• adding funny name places (e.g. The edge of the world, the other side of the moon, eggs and bacon bay, nowhere else and penguin)

I think the following aspects of editing are tedious but necessary:

• adding coordinates (seriously)
• anything to do with impossible-to-remember but useful templates
• tables - I prefer the damn visual editor for this
• adding colour to text

Things you won't find me doing:

• Doing "technical" things
• Making a static map - I'm using a loan laptop to edit Wikivoyage so I can't download ink-space as well as it sounds tedious to do
• Working on anything related to North America or Europe - we have a large number of fine North American and European editors who are brilliant at what they do, so a destination article for just about anywhere else in the world is much more in need of my time.
• Working on Western Australian or Tasmanian articles - I've never been to these states so I don't know what's the trend there
• Dealing with copyright

This section was inspired by User:ThunderingTyphoons! and to say, I have to give him credit

D'oh! This travel guide to SHB2000 is unusable because it refers to a location that's impossible to reach intentionally. Please don't sue us, Matt.
