A
highlight of the Australasian section is its Annual Conference.
These are typically held away from capital cities, at wilderness
locations of major interest to members. Biologists and conservationists
working in the local area are invited to share in the meeting.
Everyone
is encouraged to present a talk on anything related to wildlife
health - eg. wildlife disease, biology, ecology, management,
whether cutting edge science, case studies or interesting
stories. Proceedings are produced at each meeting.
In
addition to the scientific programme there are field trips,
bush walks, and a friendly atmosphere that encourages the
sharing of knowledge and ideas. The catering by Shirley and
Biggles is outstanding with 5 cooked meals/day, so you never
have to last more than 2 hours without eating something. Camping
and informal accommodation is usual, and families and friends
are welcome. |
