From one Aussie Browncoat to the entire 'verse:
I'm looking for fellow Aussie (and, of course, Kiwi) Firefly fans. I've seen the odd one or two here at FFF.net and thought this might be a great place to start in creating an A-NZ Firefly fan network of sorts.
For starters, I'm looking for "Luke" and "KeepWalking" who I've already spotted here (and certainly 'sound' Aussie from the topics of their posts). However, I'm also looking for any and all other Firefly fans from the Australasian region.
Please reply here or email me at young__spirit at hotmail.com (remove the spaces (but not the underscores!) and replace the word 'at' with the symbol) and hopefully we can get some sort of show on the road in the near future... 
Many Thanks!

West Australian Browncoat here.
I've converted 6 people (including my mother) so far (jeez does that sound cultish), I would have converted more but that would mean lending out my boxset and I can't stand to let it go.

Melbourne brown coat.
Converted about 8 weeks ago.
The DVD's have started shipping in Australia! We can expect a few more of us to appear.
I know of about 4 others.
"Well, here I am..."

Yay! Two responses already!
Sorry, I can get a little excited about these things.
Perhaps I should have said where I'm at: I'm a Melbourne Browncoat too. I know at least one other (she's the Browncoat who converted me) and I'm working on converting one at the moment (I too know the pain of having to decide: parting from my box-set to convert another, or keeping the precious boxset to myself, all for myself! *semi-evil laugh*)
MHERRICK, have you signed up to Meetup.com? There are two other people who have signed up in Melbourne so far. I've signed up, but no one has nominated a place yet, and I will be out of town that weekend.
BANRIGH, I'm pretty sure "KeepWalking" is in WA, in Perth, if I'm not mistaken. So, wow: a total of five of us here at FFF.net now. (*waves pennant*) Go us!
Keep spreading the word, guys! Most of all, I think we have to find a way to make more people aware of the show... :D Well, we have a bit of time to do that...

I'm not in Australia (oooh, how I'd love to go, though!) but I remember seeing this in the Blue Sun room some time ago, and thought of you:

It's a guy who made himself a Blue Sun shirt, and he also mentions he's from Oz. Thought that might help.
Also, buy multiple box sets to lend out! It can't hurt.

All of me is beautiful and valuable, even the ugly, stupid, and disgusting parts.

Thanks for drawing that to my attention! I messaged him, hopefully he (and more!) will be around soon.
Take heed, people of the Southern Hemisphere! Walking around in Firefly-themed clothing will not go unnoticed much longer!

Here I am! The T-Shirt man!
Melbourne is where I currently sit... We have a 'geek society' where a weekly activity is a communal Firefly viewing. This show is our Mecca; our special occasion treat.
On off days, we watch the geeky (but ever-so inferior) LOTR, Star Wars, Buffy, Angel, etc...
The geek will inherit the earth.

Kiwi Browncoat waves hello.
Hi there,
I'm in Chilly Christchurch. Nice to meet some fellow Australasian Browncoats... didn't think there was that many of us out here on the rim of the Firefly 'Verse.

Heya everyone!
Im a South Aussie Browncoat - its so exciting that there are other Australian's out there! Sometimes I feel like Im the only one. Believe me - I get some weird looks when the Firefly theme plays when I start up my computer at work! Even so, Ive made it my mission to spread the word - my DVD's have hardly stopped being borrowed since I imported them 6 months ago!
My number one fear is that we wont get to see 'Serenity' in OZ because the series hasnt even been shown on TV. I'm just crossing my fingers that the movie is HUGE in the US!
Its funny, a year or so back I attended a Buffy Convention in Adelaide and one of the big wigs from Channel 7 said that they would be showing Firefly over the 2003/2004 off season, but it didnt happen. I wonder if they are holding off until closer to the movie release, or possibly to see if the movie is successful. Thoughts?
SOOOO great to run into y'all!

Ooh! Mangoes!

At an internet cafe right now trying to find t-shirt transfer for a Firefly shirt I am going to make.
So far I can only find a Blue Sun image, but am looking for the fighting elves and a Serenity one.
