The Finns have had an
Annual International AH Spring Meeting eight times already, and another less official one in the autumn for some years now. All it takes is a place to meet and someone to organize it. The details may vary, it may be a lan party with people lying in sleeping bags under their computer tables, a civilized lan party with accommodation or just a get together event without computers. The last one is of course the easiest to organize, because there's no need for a bunch of hubs and switches, not to mention a good broadband connection.
The main purpose is to meet fellow gamers face to face, so every alternative works.
So to answer your question: You can have an aussie AH gathering right when you organize it. If the participants like it, they'll be waiting for the next one and, if you're lucky, they'll help you with it.
