2010 Birds Australia Congress and Campout
This year's Congress and Campout is fast approaching. Register online now to
take advantage of the member's only Early Bird special. 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 for
early risers on Sunday morning, and a Sunday sunset cruise on Lake Ross for
those at a loose end between the Congress and the Campout.
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 three main
excursions: Paluma National Park; Paluma township and Birthday Creek Falls; and
AWCs Taravale. 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.
For further details and the latest information, check the Birds Australia
website or e-mail the organisers.
