Yep, talk-au is where most of the action is. Plus sending a message to
any users located around Sydney via their map - you need to login to
see the users near Sydney.

there is also: http://www.osmaustralia.org/
and see active users in Syd: http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/tag/Sydney
and on the osm-wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Users_in_Sydney

Just wanna be careful how we do this - we don't want the whole of
sydney to show up :-)
