Hi Cameron, thanks for the welcome.  Agreed, there's some affinity between the 2 countries despite the language barrier... it felt like a parallel universe my first trip to Aus!

My partner's from WA so we're looking to spend some time, around 4-5 months, with the family.  We currently live in the Yukon so a few months out in the winter is always a good idea!  I'm also looking at it as a great opportunity to get involved in a larger geospatial community.

Unsure as of yet what work opportunities will come my way, keeping my eyes open though.  I have dual Canadian/Australian citizenship so no need to worry about work visas (fortunately!  I've paid my dues through years of immigration paperwork...).

Any suggestions would be most welcome...

Cheers
John

Hi John,
Welcome to Australia. There seems to be a strong affiliation between Canada and Australia (we have hired 2 Canadians at LISAsoft already).

What brings you to Australia? What will you be working on?

Hi folks, I'm relocating to Perth from Canada in November and was wondering if you knew of any OSGeo/Open GIS oriented folks, groups, meetups or the like in that neck of the woods.

Cheers
John Bryant
