Bah, stop your moanin' and take a look at the following list of
Australian Conventions.

It's by no means complete, but there are some good cons listed there.
I live in melbourne (which some people would have you believe has the
highest number of roleplayers per capita than anywhere else in the
world, although I'm a bit dubious) and regularly attend Conquest,
Arcarnacon, DwarfCon, and Unicon, all of which are worthwhile (although
the latter two are usually only good for a day or so each).
Hell, Arc had Shane as it's special guest last year, if that doesn't make 
a good con I don't know what does.

is also worth a look...

(PS. Shane, I haven't forgotten you, I've just been too busy to get my Arc
game written to a stage where someone else could actually use it. Now that
I'm only working 3 days a week and have some free time...)
