Overall, I like it :-)
Methinks I may have to visit Oz ;-)

1)
I get various artifacts when viewing the video.
Does anyone else?
For example, right at the start, the scrolling
images across the bottom half - the left side
of the first image(roos) is a jagged sawtooth.
Similar 'sawtooth' effects appear throughout
the video.

2)
What rights do we have to this video?

3)
Never having been to Australia, I don't know where
some of the places are located, or what they are.
Knowing the conference will be at SCEC, and seeing
some scenes of 'people in a theater setting' makes
me wonder if that was at SCEC. Would it be worthwhile
to have any sort of 'storyline' to go with the video?
Or selected stills, with captions, in a photo gallery?
