Well, it helps if you download Yahoo's GeoPlanet dump, and load both it and all
or some subset of Planet.osm into PostGIS.

You'll need to create a data/ directory, and dump a mapping of WoE ID -> Name into

into another file called `data/suburbs.txt`. This is stupid and could be done a lot more
cleanly.
