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 and dipped my feet in all five oceans. 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 infered 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 do also pleasure me – I'm a person who loves dipping their feet in bodies of water. I don't have a specific area of interest meaning I routinely edit destinations from all over the world, though I do work a lot more about my home Australia (specifically NSW) 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 or many destinations in Nunavik, Quebec 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 proud to have made over 100,000 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 14,000 edits. I frequent the other projects listed below, though I'm not super active on those wikis. Other WMF sites that I edit: Meta Wikimedia Commons (my second home wiki) English Wikibooks English Wikipedia French Wikivoyage I also sporadically edit other wikis such as the Simple English Wikipedia or the Italian Wikivoyage (despite my it-0 understanding of Italian). 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: Jervis Bay 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 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 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 spelling looks wrong.

Articles and pages These include ones that I have either created or heavily worked on. Key: Guide or (g): 38 Star or (s): 3 Featured or (f) Numbers here include articles created on the French Wikivoyage. Outline articles, usable articles and informative articles are not marked as pretty much most other articles I have created or have heavily worked on fall into one of the three status types.

Articles I'm currently working on Not exactly a complete list, but it's a list of those likely to enter mainspace soon – sometime in the near future. Anyone is free to make edits and improve them. /Brisbane Water National Park /Christmas Island National Park /Boonoo Boonoo National Park /Border Ranges National Park /Norfolk Island National Park /Southern Lights /Tamborine Current projects Canberra districts Get New South Wales to star status. Articles to create Follow-up list Nilpena Ediacara National Park – early 2023 when the national park opens to the public 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 UNESCO World Heritage List (India) – August update 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.

My records This could go on, but I will hopefully add more to this: Northernmost – Tromsø, Troms og Finnmark. (≈69.695°) Southernmost – Hobart, Tasmania (≈-42.882) Easternmost – Auckland, North Island (let's hope my future trip to Fiji sometime in the near future will change this) Westernmost – Point Reyes National Seashore, California Longest flight – SYD IATA - OSL IATA (21.5 hours) Closest to equator – Sentosa, Singapore (≈1°) Highest point in elevation – Tioga Pass, Yosemite National Park (> 3,100 metres) Lowest point in elevation – Badwater Basin, Death Valley (-87 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) Upcoming trips I don't plan much ahead, so this list is a lot shorter than it would be. Trips within 500 kilometres from Sydney CBD are not included here. 2022/12 several cities, convict sites and national parks to see the amazing Tasmanian Wilderness. 2023/04 – assuming air travel settles down, to various beachside and snorkeling destinations 2023/12 South Island, New Zealand – Fiordland National Park, Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park: Possibly Mount Aspiring National Park, Westland Tai Poutini National Park, Tongariro National Park or Egmont National Park
