Australia isn't bad in August :). Perhaps some thought could
be given to holding some meetings in more regional areas also,
not just major cities.

Australia).
Dassa,
For better or worse, we've had a preference for locations close
to major airports with significant international connections.
We haven't been consistent about it (note, e.g., San Diego),
but, unlike that other organization whose name starts with "I"
(not IEEE, Glen), we have considered it a really bad thing if
most of the attendees have to spend two days getting to and/or
from a meeting: turning a five-day meeting into an eight- or
nine-day one is really hard on those who have other things to do
besides going to meetings. I have no idea how the boondocks
of NSW would fall on that criterion, but it is what has kept us
near or in fairly major cities.
