Would anyone else be interested in this?<br /><br />Pros: Hosted in an Australian winter, the tropics in Northern Queensland have beautiful days. Cairns has plenty of visitor infrastructure. Good excuse to hit the tropics in winter...<br /><br />Cons: Distant to many of the big$$ decision makers.<br /><br />NB. I'm happy to collaborate on OS events in more southerly locales too.<br /><br />Over to you...mangoesmappinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709186845699961004noreply@blogger.com
