About the venue

The conference will be held at the University of New England (UNE), in Armidale, NSW. Armidale is located in the New England region of the Northern Tablelands, approximately midway between Sydney and Brisbane. The area is well known for grazing and the production of high-grade fine wool, and for the beautiful gorge country that lies close outside the city. UNE is the oldest regional University in Australia, and lies five kilometres to the northwest of the city centre, in a rural and bushland setting.
