It's ok.  The roads are so weird that many of have lived here for years
and still have trouble finding our way around ;)

I went to North America for the first time recently and was really
impressed with the road system.  I was over on the east coast and spent
most of my time in Toronto[1]
 
[1] I really love Toronto but I have to say that I just couldn't shake the
association between "Sesame street" and yellow school buses.  I tried but
I just couldn't shake it.  Consequently, whenever driving I was regularly
taken back to my childhood with memories of watching Sesame street :)  Oh
yeah, painted yellow traffic lights didn't help :)

Have you looked at:

http://www.whereis.com.au/

Also the Humbug web page http://www.humbug.org.au contains a link to a
University map with the room on it.  We can also help people find the room
once they reach the University.

Cheers,
	Rob
