I've done Australia already - theres no real good topography around there -
and Oz was where Day One was based so I've used all those ideas before.
Southern and south-eastern Oz would have been inundated by increase

Someone else suggested somewhere like Mexico City - loads of potential for
ruins and high enough to avoid flooding on the other side around the Amazon
basin
