I think Melbourne City would be an excellent place to start, with the number
of city workers and large park areas, as well as cafe strips.

As a minimum, it would be nice to see the Flagstaff Gardens, Carlton Gardens
(Exhibition St - city end) and Bourke St/Swanston St areas covered - the
places where people are likely to have a laptop outdoors while enjoying the
sun or a coffee. :-)  I can see myself making use of such facilities from
time to time...  Hrmm, stuff the office, I'll work from the coffee shop down
the road via VPN. ;-)

If the idea ever takes off here, I'm going to have to do something about a
decent battery supply. :)
