Taking a deposition of a remote witness, especially internationally, often involves thinking outside the box and stepping outside your comfort zone.  When taking depositions of witnesses in more remote areas of the world, the wonders of technology can be your best friend. Mobile videoconferencing is a fantastic option when traditional videoconferencing is not an option at all.

Australia is a vast, beautiful country, offering many dazzling locations to host a deposition: Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, and Melbourne all come to mind. Suppose, however, that your witness is somewhere more remote — for instance, Alice Springs in the Northern Territory — and cannot or will not travel to one of the larger cities.
