Canberra weather for dashboard (Mac OS X Tiger)
Tiger’s weather dashboard widget is a little tricky to get working if you’re not in the USA, and doubly so if you happen to want to know about Canberra. It seems that AccuWeather has listed a bunch of ‘regions’ in the ACT and doesn’t have a single ‘Canberra’ city.
If you follow that link, and then pick the region you’re interested in, the URL you’re sent to should end in something like ‘OCN;AU;ACT;BELCONNEN;’, and things should start happening if you paste that into the field on the back of the weather widget.
Of course, it bugs me that I can’t have the title of the widget say ‘Canberra’, but I imagine I’ll forget about it shortly.
Thanks to Jimmy who worked this out for Melbourne and got me on the right track.

Thanks for that tip: it seems to have changed since 2005, as entering OCN|AU|ACT|CANBERRA now works.
