A Forgotten Little Corner

This weekend marked a huge event that happened over in New York, Central Park.
The Singapore Fair was held there and apparently...it was the largest overseas event ever attempted and it was a huge success.

I always wondered whether this little corner of the world, Brisbane, might ever be considered for an event of that scale. What are the requirements for a location to be considered important enough for selection?
Number of SG residents?
Number of Businessmen?

Events that are publicised and supported wholeheartedly by the home govt are always in the US or the UK. But as far as I can recall, never in Australia or any other part of the world.
Are we not worth the time and effort?
Some of us are actually proud of being Singaporean.
And some of us are even willing to put in a little more time and effort to run student clubs and statewide clubs just to be able to add our little Singaporean flavor to the local populace.

When will our time come?
