REGISTER NOW for the 2010 Birds Australia Congress and Campout - Townsville
This year's Congress and Campout is fast approaching. Register online now to 
take advantage of the member's only Early Bird special and a generous 
concession for students.  The Congress, to be held in Townsville in north 
Queensland, will start at 6.30 pm on Friday 13 August, with a meet-and-greet 
opening. Papers addressing the theme of "Conservation of Australian Birds; 
Approaches, Projects and Outcomes" will be presented and discussed on 14-15 
August. All of this will take place at the Plaza Hotel, at the corner of 
Flinders and Stanley Streets. The Congress dinner will be held on Saturday 
night, a choice of excursions will be offered  on Sunday afternoon.


The Campout will be held from 16-20 August, based at Crystal Creek Community 
Centre, Mutarnee, 65 km north of Townsville. Subject to numbers, field trips 
will cover a variety of habitats, from the coast to the highlands, including 
rainforest, dry sclerophyll forest, coasts and wetlands. There are excursions 
planned for: Paluma National Park, Paluma township and Birthday Creek Falls,  
AWCs Taravale, Tyto Wetlands and Wallerman Falls. Information will also be 
available for self-guided birding excursions to many nearby areas. In the 
evening, enjoy some informative talks by locals with expertise in NQ's birds. 
The Crystal Creek Caravan Park, next door to the Community Centre, is the 
suggested camping venue, though other accommodation is available within a 30 
minute drive of Mutarnee.
