Supanova is good - have attended the last 3 in Brisbane and Sydney and scored autographs from John Schneider, Summer Glau, Mira Furlan and Clare Kramer. However the guest list for Sydney 2007 so far does not interest me:
Comic-books
Dan DiDio (D.C. Comics)
Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night)
Marv Wolfman (Nightwing, Crisis On Infinite Earths, New Teen Titans)
Anime Voice-Actors
Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (Ghost in the Shell)
Debi Derryberry (Zatch Bell, Jimmy Neutron)
Daran Norris (Cowboy Bebop The Movie, Fushigi Yugi)
Fantasy/Sci-Fi Authors
Sonny Whitelaw (Stargate)
Marianne De Pierres (Parrish Plessis)
Jennifer Fallon (The Hythrun Chronicles)
Karen Miller (Kingmaker, Kingbreaker)
Celebrity Guests
Clayton Watson (Matrix Revolutions)
Daran Norris (Veronica Mars)
Armageddon is a new one so it will be interesting to see how it goes this year. I was thinking of flying down to Melbourne and attending, but none of the guests announced interest me enough. Adam West (the original Batman), and Billy West (the voice of Fry from Futurama) are pretty big drawcards though.
Full guest list for Armageddon Melbourne 13-14 October, 2007
Other, more specialised, convention organisers in Australia:
Friends of Sci-Fi
The Hub Productions - specialising in 'whedonverse' conventions (ie. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly/Serenity)
Vortex Events - specialising in Sci-Fi events
