perhaps put Mt. Isa, Julia Creek, Ayr, and Mackay into North Queensland to even out the continents a bit?

I also forgot to mention that you have not put in Victoria another state of Australia, i think that ACT and Victoria both need to be put in before you give Australia the go ahead.

WA is too small.

if you are following states, you should (as previously mentioned) break QLD, NSW, VIC & TAS up as they really are.

the 'look' of the map isn't bad though

...If you're 6 years old.

I like this map, reminiscent of the USA map we have at present, but I think I'll play this one a lot when it comes out :).

I disagree. Canberra is a hole and home to spawns of satan; we should pretend it doesn't exist.

Yeah well I've lived in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart and decided that Hobart was the best city out of all those. I guess it depends on what you want.
