Just got back from Melbourne, (Toronto, ON), loved it and will return, and I just kept thinking 'If there was a start-up culture in Melbourne, I'd move there in 2 seconds!' - and now there are 6 responding to the thread, :)

Whilst it's not huge, it's certainly growing. Silicon Beach is a community pushing technology innovation in Melbourne (and the rest of Australia). You can read a little more about it here: http://melbourne.siliconbeachaustralia.org/about-2/ and here: http://www.rosshill.com.au/article/silicon-beach-melbourne/

Count me in as well. Good to see some people here I know on Twitter, but wasn't aware of on HN.

Melbourne / Geelong here too! I was impressed when I put the SB blog post above together too. There is a nice range of events happening, and a good amount of code happening too :)

I am surprised to see such a strong Melbournian contingent. Maybe the rain keeps you indoors, nothing to do but program? ;)

Sydney here, although going back to Tokyo for summer. (Reference for Melbourne residents: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer)
