It’s a year already. I guess time flies when you’re having fun. And yes, Sydney is a fun city, with the beaches and national parks.
And the web development community is pretty active here too. After all, it is Sydney where Google Maps started it’s life, for example. Sydney hosted several large web-related conferences last year, like Web Directions South, SANS, Jacob Nielsen, OzIA, RuxCon, Search Engine Boothcamp, Adobe workshops, Apple workshops, … Upcoming are Search Summit, WebDU, … Often there are Web Standards Group meetings, php-user and flash-user group meeting, WebJam, the first BarCamp un-conference, OWASP meetings (although pretty small group, and not so regular), … So Sydney keeps us busy.
