Ok I have been watching this thread and honestly it is very disappointing to see what is being said.
Firstly, as Robin and a couple of other people pointed out, Geoff is doing this off his own bat. The Daemon guy organise everything, from accommodation deals, to venues and speakers. It's a lot of work to put into something. I think everyone assumes that it's Adobe putting this thing on, when its not. It's Daemon. I am sure if someone put their hand up and said to Geoff that they were prepared to host and fully sponsor the even in another state one year he would be fine with it. My hat goes off to Geoff for doing this in the in the first place. This is the same story I hear with the User Groups. Every one is quick to wave their hands in the air in a fuss. In the end if you think you will get enough out of the event and you see value in going then you will make time and find funds to go. Just be lucky we have something like this at all in the country.

Both Melbourne people for the record. Perhaps it's time to approach Adobe with the "We want to take this show on the road" and get some money. I really believe that both a Melboure and Brisbane event would be worthwhile even if it's only once every 4 years. Ie: Sydney Melbourne Sydney Brisbane Not sure but perhaps WA needs to be in the mix, seem to get more QLD comments than WA.

Everyone else, And I will also say that why is MS successful, road shows. I realise that this is done of the backs of peoples kindness, but lets look at the bigger picture. There are more people who can't make it than those that do, and to have it travel as Dale said opens up more awareness. Coldfusion has a serious problem, and that is awarness and having to compete with OpenSource or free alternatives, but how many bigger businesses might attend if there was more exposure in that state?
