The conference is in Warrnambool, a beautiful coastal town situated on the Prince’s Highway south east of Melbourne and dating from the gold rush days of the 1850’s. It is a fabulous location and we hope you’ve had a look at the website to gain some idea of what’s in store;
We look forward to keeping you informed and to seeing you there.
