 The `bom` platform allows you to get the current weather conditions from the [Bureau of Meteorology (BOM)](http://www.bom.gov.au/) Australia.
 
 - Each sensor will be given the `device_id` of "bom [optionalname] friendlyname units"
-- Get the station ID for your local BOM station from the BOM website: State -> Observations -> Latest Observations -> Choose the station
-- The URL will look like http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS60801/IDS60801.94675.shtml. This is for Adelaide. The URL is read as: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/[zone_id]/[zone_id].[wmo_id].shtml
 - A name is optional but if multiple BOM weather stations are used a name will be required.
 - The sensor will update every minute 35 minutes after last data timestamp. This allows for the 30 minute observation cycle and the approximate 5 minute update delay in publishing the data.
 
+To get the station ID `[zone_id]` and `[wmo_id]` for your local BOM station:
+- Find your station on these maps:
+ - NSW: http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/observations/map.shtml
+ - QLD: http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/observations/map.shtml
+ - VIC: http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/observations/map.shtml

+ - ACT: http://www.bom.gov.au/act/observations/canberramap.shtml
+ - NT: http://www.bom.gov.au/nt/observations/map.shtml
+ - alternatively, from the [BOM website](http://www.bom.gov.au/), navigate to State -> Observations -> Latest Observations -> Choose the station.
+- The URL will look like: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/[zone_id]/[zone_id].[wmo_id].shtml
