day scientific congress at La Trobe University, Bendigo, on Sat/Sun 1-2
October 2005.You are invited to submit contributions relating to any
aspect of the Congress theme. The location of the Congress
particularly lends itself to presentations relating to box and ironbark

River system and wetlands. The program committee have tentatively
proposed sessions based around:
- birds and water
- changes to forest, woodland and mallee landscapes
- restoration, revegetation and recovery

Presentation timeslots generally will be for 15 minutes. Time for
questions and discussion will be allocated after groups of speakers
have presented. Presentations by research students are particularly

committee chair (see below) by 1 July 2005. Abstracts should include a
title, author(s) names, affiliation(s) and address, and a maximum 200

major outcomes in your abstract. Where possible, please submit
