• What a superb website. I really enjoyed flicking through the easy-to-read pages. Of course I checked up on my own suburb, Potts Point. It's aptly described. Congratulations on the outcome!

• I am considering moving to Melbourne from Sydney next year, and I found this site one of the most interesting, factual and easy to navigate websites around. The information is accurate and the references to shoes is a great touch!

• When we decided to head down to Australia (from Houston) I was more than overwhelmed with the prospect of laying out the trip. We were going to be there for 10 days and the challenge of putting a perfect trip together seemed to grow each day. Where do you go? What do you do? How do you get around? I found all of the "major sites' but well into the process stumbled upon a referral to www.cityhobo.com. Since the referral was so strong I decided to take a look. It was tremendous. The simple fact is you can't learn everything or go everywhere in 10 days, and the well-known sites were just overwhelming and it seemed I had to garner them all to get everything I needed. We are talking serious over-load; that's when I found cityhobo. It was clean, un-cluttered and had all of the essentials of a trip without the clutter. I was looking for "high-value" information not needless filler. It is exceptional. Also of great interest is their info on suburbs and real estate as we may be looking for a place to rent/buy for my son. Make www.cityhobo.com your first site visit; it will save you a lot of time and frustration.

• Thank you, this is such a great website. I moved to Australia from South Africa last year and lived in Brisbane. My husband then got employment at Sony Australia in Sydney and we have since moved to Sydney. I have spent days on the net looking for a website like this. Thank you, it is great!! Now I feel more connected to this city, and feel I have a handy guide to get around. Many many thanks.

• Just a quick note to say great site, I'm currently "analyzing" it for a weekly discussion for my Information Design course. It's a fine example of good design in my opinion. On another note, I am relocating to Australia so I'm finding it very useful!
  

• I think that it does speak to young people in a language that they are familiar with and that is approachable, and its quirkiness is attractive, for example comparing suburbs to styles of shoes! I think it would be useful for students, particularly those from overseas. I did a search and the results were clear, offering good coverage of the features and contacts in a suburb.
  I think that the section dedicated to FAQs is interesting from a foreigner's perspective as it covers things like tipping, the airport, renting, prices and the GST. I also think that from an international or non-local perspective the section based on 21 day trips in Sydney is another great promotion as this is a positive way of promoting some of Sydney's highlights.
