Sounds good to me.
The location appears to be:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=29+Garema
+Place,+Canberra,
+Australia&sll=-35.277857,149.13168&sspn=0.008233,0.015042&ie=UTF8&ll=-3
5.276421,149.13168&spn=0.008233,0.015042&z=16&iwloc=addr
and their website is:
http://www.milkandhoney.net.au/milkandhoney/
(the one you gave didn't have the .au which led me to being hit with
the 404-stick.)
Perhaps you'd even like to ring them to tell them "Wikipedia is
coming to have breakfast" - they might give us a free muffin or
something! (but seriously, if they're busy at that time it would be
good if they've got a quieter section put aside for us).
So - all the people in Canberra or who can come along: sign up here:

As for a venue, I've heard good things about Milk and Honey
(http://www.milkandhoney.net/milkandhoney/). I do apologise for being
the one responsible for such an unsightly meeting time, but I'm
actually going to Sydney that afternoon.
I'm also excited to hear about contacts with these other organisations
- a great leap forward for WMAu.
Also, on the convention front, after this little shindig I will email
the Canberra Convention Bureau who have said that they will start
scouting venues for us, since I will not be able to meet with them
directly for the two weeks I am out of state.

Hi all,
On March 20th Liam and I will both be in Canberra, meeting with lots
of interesting folk from interesting orgs (thanks to Liam's
interesting rolodex). One of our meetings will be a brunch around
9am.
We would really like to meet up with local editors who are
interested
in helping make a "wiki conf" in Canberra around November happen.
(See
<http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/AusWikiConf_2009> for some background)
If you are not too interested in that but still want to meet up,
that's cool too. :) Please email me offlist so we can swap contact
info and such for when a venue is set.
thanks!
Brianna

They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment:

Personally, I wouldn't call a 9am meeting "bruch" so much as
"breakfast" :-) but that's the way it has worked out - this is the
only available time when we are all in the same place.
It would be really good to meet Canberrans whether they are
interested
in helping our with a wiki conf and/or members of the chapter or
neither. We will be meeting in a cafe (as yet to be determined by
[[user:confusing manifestations]] ) in the City district at 9am on
Friday week. Please come along if you can!
For those who are interested to know, over the course of that
Thursday
and Friday we have arranged meetings with directors from: the
National
Gallery; the Australian War Memorial; the National Library (twice)
and
the Australian institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Studies (AIATSIS). Other insitiutions will be joining us such as the
Australian Digital Alliance.
The purpose of these meeting quite loose. Simply put, these
institutions have had ad hoc dealings with wiki•edians, from a
variety of people, across a range of issues, for several years. We
are
going to "fly the flag" and answer their questions and see where
discussion takes us. From their point if view, just being able to put
a face to this vast thing called "wiki" will be important.
If you have specific questions that would like us to pose to these
institutions please contact either Brianna, myself or the Wikipedia
Australia committee.
All the best,
-Liam
