[TYPO3-UG Australia] Port 80 and Australian Web Industry Association

[Bernie Pfister]

Cheers Roger,

I wanted to go to the Pilbara for a long long time. I think it's  
beautiful. I made it as far as Kalbarri though, but the Pilbara would  
be great. We should all meet up there...

Anyway, how is "Port 80" and the "Australian Web Industry  
Association" regarded in the eastern states? Has anyone been to a  
Port 80 meeting over there?
