Dreaming of lime gerbils in a cheese sauce

It's snowing here so my thoughts have turned to Winter which makes me think of where I like to be in August when it is most certainly not winter.

As a result I've started conversations with someone in Australia to see if it would be possible for me to do some tutorials in Wellington (NZ), Brisbane, Sydney, and/or Melbourne around August, 2009 in conjunction with the SAGE-AU conference. My hope is to visit all of those places (plus Gold Coast where the conference is, of course) on the trip. I'm looking forward to more winter wonder down under.
