If you're interested to know what sci-fi related events are going on in
Australia you might be interested in this website www.fannishinquisition.com I expect the aussie stuff will be kept fairly
up to date because it's run by someone in Au. Mostly focuses on
Stargate/Firefly but there's plenty cross-over events - like a Robert
Picardo event in Sydney Feb. for example
