2008 Symposium Proceedings
 |
One of our Association's goals is to keep the public informed about issues affecting our national parks. You can read our Media Release. Each speaker had 30 minutes on a topic that addresses our general theme. The venue was the CSIRO Discovery Centre. Each attendee received a printed copy of the 135 page colour proceedings. A limited number of extra copies are available. Cost (including GST): $15 each plus $8.50 for postage and handling.
