Geographer Stephen Young created images (follow the multimedia link) of what Australia would look life if sea level rose up to a remarkable 500 meters. Needless to say, there wouldn't be much of any continent left, let alone Australia.

Most countries would be completely underwater, death valley would very likely to become somewhat of a lake as well. Droughts would end, but besides that, great topic!
given the fact that the sea has risen over 400 feet since the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago, and the fact that there is not that much ice left on earth even including all of the ice in the polar regions, it would probably be better to have someone do some estimates that are more in line with reality. I suspect you could not get even a few feet more of ocean rising with no ice anywhere, which is impossible no matter how much the scare mongers hype up global warming.
Jack, did you read the article. The artist/geographer in question said that he was not doing it to promote fear of climate change but as an interesting way to see our country in a different way.
My first impression upon seeing the image is that it would certainly help with the jack rabbit problem.
