For those in the US and the UK the good news is that the Australian dollar is shot to pieces relative to your currency. So once you get here your cash will go far. If you have questions about further travel here, before or after the conference in Australia, or in the region, please direct them to Trish in the first instance. In addition to Trish and myself, the other members of the Unit Management Committee will be taking responsibility for aspects of conference planning. We are hoping to have as many as four keynote speakers from abroad, and two from within Australia.
Negotiations are well advanced in most instances.
As soon as they're concluded we'll let you know. One session of the conference will be devoted to Australian content, specifically to the 'Stolen Generation' of Australian aborigines and their narratives. We'll keep the information coming, so stay tuned. Hope you can make it - and please spread the word.
