I just saw tonight's episode - the Dr. Phlox episode - the ep after "Silent Enemy".
Brisbane gets a mention! And PRONOUNCED correctly by Hoshi, too!
So cool.
Sydney and Melbourne have been mentioned - but only as Starships.
I did mention somewhere on the 'net once - on the newsgroups I think that I wished Brisbane got a mention, seeing as Sydney and Melbourne already had! WOO!

Have you guys seen the poster for the Crocadile Hunter movie they've got coming out? The movie looks dumb, but Drew Struzan, the guy who did the Episode 1 and 2 posters did the artwork.

The planet Tyree was just a desert. The Mugato was on the planet where an unrelated guy named Tyree lived

I wondered when I saw "A Time to Stand" [DS9] (and I think I discussed it here, too) whether "Tyree's Planet" was the same planet we saw from TOS, I'm sure the WHOLE planet wasn't a desert. It sounds like it could nicely fit. Another nice thing from the DS9 crew. Oh to have new DS9.

hey, maybe in your fucked up star wars universe planets can only have one climate, but here in trek land they can have 2 or more! but if they were shown on TOS, they can't have a visible atmosphere.

Well yes as I mentioned, Sydney and Melbourne have already had obsure references... The Nebula Class Melbourne and the Sydney Class Jenolin.
It's the first time we've had Brisbane mentioned AND the actual place (my home town)! Actually there have only been a few cities named as actual PLACES in Trek - not counting things like the U.S.S. Melbourne or the U.S.S. Bozeman U.S.S. Sao Paulo etc.
We've had LaBarre (is that a town/city or just a region?), France. Cambridge, England. San Franscisco, USA. Brisbane, Australia. Was the Penal Colony in Wellington or Auckland, New Zealand? Lisbon, Portugal. Tokyo, Japan. Leningrad!! Russia (or the USSR if it's still Leningrad in Trek future - not St. Petersburg.) Los Angeles, USA. Marsaille SP? France - Where Chez Shandrine's is?
We've also had Montana, Tasmania and Alaska as states mentioned.
As for countries
Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Soloman Islands, England, Ireland, Russia, Portugal, France, Canada, USA, Brazil, Japan?, Mexico? (Where did O'Brien's assistant comefrom in "The Ship"?

locally, Star Trek has acknowledged my area with the U.S.S. Rhode Island and the New Providence colony... in SotSF, there are two ships, the U.S.S. Coventry and the U.S.S. Fall River that seem to be named for RI-localities, but are actually named for larger towns of the same names further north, i believe.
I was thrilled that there was finally a crewmember with the same last name as me in 'Relics'
