Another Brisbane boy here. HN meetup would be great, since we seem to have a few locals. I can probably organise a casual venue one evening in the Valley? Maybe chip in for some drinks or dinner?
Good to know. I'll be checking that out, and if it seems worth having something HN specific (or, more particularly, HN marketed) I'll put up a post here and drop a line to those Brisbanites mentioned in this post.
There are some groups on meetup.com already, like http://www.meetup.com/upstarta-brisbane-qld/
