   And here in the vastness of Australia, the best IP geolocation is likely to   
   give is the capital city that you're routed through, which for me is around   
   150km off the mark. :)  And Facebook often thinks I've logged in via Perth for   
   some reason, nearly 3000 km away (and no, I don't use tunneling).  I suspect   
   the BBS appears in Adelaide (on IPv4, IPv6 in Melbourne), because there is a   
   tunnel for IPv4 there.  I haven't checked.
