>>I'm not so sure that that opinion is one that can be widely held. At Whilfest in November, there were several people there from "down under". Not sure how they heard about it, but they were there.<<
If superb training were offered in Kuala Lumpur or Tasmania, how likely is it that you or your employers would find that a useful offer?
Also consider that currency conversions mean that in some Asian countries, the all-up cost of attending training in the midwest would equate to most of the developer's annual salary.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
