Probably just organise the conference and let people organise their transportation. Maybe have it somewhere near accommodation so it could be a a couples of days of conference and a couple of nights of going out reveling. bitcoin BTC: 1MikVUu1DauWB33T5diyforbQjTWJ9D4RF

Yeah, most people will probably get their own transport, but alot of the guys in WA already know eachother, and thought it would be fun, plus a "convoy" across australia to get to it would get some media attention - which would be good.

We arent telling ppl to come on the bus/convoy, it's just an idea, and obviously it is a long trip and some ppl wont be able to get time off work etc. Fly over great!! just be there

To me the whole idea of this is PUBLICITY, popular press loves "convoys" and stuff that cross the country!



Personally i would like to ride my motorbike over and go via great ocean road, not sure if this would be best route for a bus or convoy tho



Please also remeber this idea is about an hour old now, so we are brainstorming and seeing if there is interest



What would you like to see at a Aussie Bitcoin Conference/expo? - we havent even worked out what to call it yet!!



Bitcoin babes with small chocolate "Bitcoins" to give away was one suggestion - or is that too sexist?

give us your ideas folks!



This is about getting the Bitcoin word out to the public anbd getting to know some of the faces of BTC in AU.

If this gets some momentum we may even be able to get some of the bigger BTC businesses and names to attend from around the world - we'll certainly be inviting

Well it was my idea to try to organise a bus or convoy from Perth, hopefully getting SA and western Vic ppl to join on way thru, I also suggested it might be possible to do this from QLD thru NSW and ACT.We arent telling ppl to come on the bus/convoy, it's just an idea, and obviously it is a long trip and some ppl wont be able to get time off work etc. Fly over great!! just be thereTo me the whole idea of this is PUBLICITY, popular press loves "convoys" and stuff that cross the country!Personally i would like to ride my motorbike over and go via great ocean road, not sure if this would be best route for a bus or convoy thoPlease also remeber this idea is about an hour old now, so we are brainstorming and seeing if there is interestWhat would you like to see at a Aussie Bitcoin Conference/expo? - we havent even worked out what to call it yet!!Bitcoin babes with small chocolate "Bitcoins" to give away was one suggestion - or is that too sexist?give us your ideas folks!This is about getting the Bitcoin word out to the public anbd getting to know some of the faces of BTC in AU.If this gets some momentum we may even be able to get some of the bigger BTC businesses and names to attend from around the world - we'll certainly be inviting

Count me in - in fact; anything i can do to help coordinate this is available.



In order to make it happen we DO NEED IDEAS AND INPUT ..what should be there? What is our purpose (except good booze and Bitcoin Chicks )



I personally would love to see Bitcoin in Australia promoted throughout the entire process - We all know how much Australian Media love to cover a "Good Old-Fashioned Convoy" so am happy to spearhead the Canberra/Sydney contingent.



"How To Build A Rig"



"Bitcoin2Web Hackathon"



"Mine-A-Thon"



Just ideas



Great work BitcoinAustralia!



TTFN - TaTa For now!
