So where are we all? Any possibility of a Dopefest some time in the future?
I’m in Brisbane.
I’m sweltering in the outer western suburbs of Sydney.
Sydneysiders from the snopes message board are trying to arrange meeting up sometime around New Year - maybe we could combine the two into a general “ignorance fighters” social event…
I’m in Brisbane too. If the money gods smile (which is incredibly unlikely) we should get to Sydney some time next year.
Sydney, moved to the North Shore from the inner west a couple of months ago. Cross the Bridge, turn right, you’re there.
Primaflora, Broken Doll, where in Brisbane are you-all? I get to Brisbane fairly often - will be there over Xmas. Got inlaws at Redcliff, Scarborough, Browns Plains and Surfers.
reprise did you see tomorrow’s weather report?? 36! This could be a looong hot summer. Like the ‘ignorance fighters’ idea, count me in child care permitting.
Another Aussie checking in. And another one in Brisbane.
Others here (in Brissy) include: wyldelf, flikker and rift.
So far it looks like the fest should be in the sunshine state…
The very hot state yes atm.
Another Sydney (inner west) based doper checking in.
A couple of others not mentioned so far:
gaspode (Queensland)
picmr (Melbourne)
big yellow kingswood (Sydney)
g’ day mates. I’m not Australian, but I’ve heard of vegemite and I play rugby. That’s good enough, right? Say, have any of you ever heard of waffles? I once knew an Australian guy who had never heard of waffles. Are there really wallabies and koala bears just running around town? Man, I want a wallaby. Any of you ever been bitten by a dingo? I hear they are dangerous little buggers.
Canberra here. The nation’s capital for all the non-Australians who happen to read this.
Hey all,
Im an Aussie, from born in Melbourne, now live in Canberra, but am currently emailing from France, to a US board!
THe wonders of the net.
Hi Cecil et all.

How about we also post how we found out about the SDMB, considering we aren’t Americans.
I got here through http://www.bored.com
As mentioned, I’m from Melbourne. Now then, for the benefit of steeljaw:
[list][]Through a quirk of the WTO, we only have the silent waffles.[]Wallabies don’t run, they hop.[]Koalas aren’t bears.[]TMIThey are dangerous, but what you really want to watch out for are the Predaceous Ravagebirds.
I’m originally from Melbourne, I moved to Brissy about 6 months ago. I miss Melbourne so much sometimes 
Picmr, which part of Melbourne are you from? I used to live in Glen Waverley.
And steeljaw, my brother has a dog which is half dingo half something else. And it’s a vicious thing.
[short ugly scream] That’s where my parents live. I’m in Sth Caulfield - as close to St Kilda as we could afford.
I’m from Orange, woohoo, try and find that. But currently working in Sweden. Will be in Sydney in Jan and Feb if anything happens. But having a white christmas (actually just a cold one, there is no snow here).
On a side note: Are BDO tickets really $90?
Should we have a Formal Farewell to evilbitch then? In Brisbane in the next few weeks?
And Jesus it is hot already this morning! I don’t believe it is only reaching 30 degrees. Yesterday was vile. Pity me - I have to go into the city and do Christmas shopping with my mother and my 3 yo
Yes, a formal farwell to Evil Bitch sounds like a grand idea!! The map is on the wall, the logistics have dutifully boggled and it’s almost time to throw caution to the wind and send her on her merry way.
So, the first mini OzDopefest… next week? Or the week after?
p.s. Koalas aren’t dangerous but ask us about DropBears sometime…
Fine by me. Where? When? What sort of a dopefest? BBQ? Cafe?
AKAMame when precisely will you be here? Will that coincide with the evil bitch departure?
Well register your preference here. I suggest next week. Friday evening, Saturday afternoon or Saturday evening. And probably meet in the city or at a well-known watering hole (as I have no BBQ at the new house yet).
Suggestions? Agreements?
Saturday afternoon is much easier for me. The Story Bridge pub work for other people? I’d rather stay away from the city. Somewhere at West End?
