Where in the World is Dom Ventura?

A while back, the wonderful Andrew Olennick had a bit of a muck around with the AFDA Member Database and some mapping programme, and I ended up with this here map showing the distribution of Ultimate players around Brisbane.

You can see that lots of Ultimate players have addresses in St Lucia (Black), Auchenflower (Orange), Toowong, Indooroopilly, Red Hill and Ashgrove (all Yellow). But just as interesting is the wide spread of other people, shown by the White tages (indicating 1-5 people in the postcode playing Ultimate). Yes, that's Dom you can see out at Margate on the Redcliffe Peninsula.

I'll have to remember to ask Andrew for an update in a while. The geographic story of Ultimate in Brisbane used to be that the centre was at UQ. I think its spread a lot since the old days - will it be more dispersed in the future?

i know that leagues in bris happen wherever people can find fields, but looking at this the next league would ideally be northside in the red hill / ashgrove area?
