Jun19th, 2002
The 2002 Annual Scientific
Meeting and General Meeting will be held in Mollymook, South Coast
New South Wales from Monday, July 1 to Wednesday, July 3 2002. The venue is
the Bannisters
Point Lodge located at 191 Mitchell Parade, Mollymook. There will be registration
on Sunday, 30th June at the lodge from 5:30 until 7:30 pm, with a concurent
reception that includes drinks and nibbles.
Papers will be presented as a mixture
of short talks (15 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions) and posters. There
will be a number of invited papers also presented, which will be 30 minutes
each, including 10 minutes for questions. The SOC has made decisions about the
allocation of talks into these different slots.
You should have been contacted now.
Posters: People presenting posters will be attaching to a 1.2m (wide) x2.0m (high)
surface using supplied velcro tags. Mollymook is renowned for its white
sand beach, snorkelling, Whale Watching, and surfing Bottlenose Dolphins. The
Conference will be held at the Bannisters Point Lodge located in Mollymook,
NSW. The conference hall holds 140 people in an intimate setting, and will support
computer projected data and overheads. Other AV types are available if requested. Due to the remote nature of this
facility from the ANU, we will not be supporting computer connections except
in a near-emergency situation. The conference attendees will have access to
a fax and photocopier.
The Harley Wood Winter School (HWWS)
will be held at the end of the preceding week, in Bateman's Bay. For more information

Harley Wood website.
