2007 Australia ICOMOS
National Conference, Cairns, Far North Queensland July 19-21 : eX treme heritage:
managing heritage in the face
of climatic extremes, natural disasters and military conflicts in tropical,
desert, polar and off-world landscapes.
The latest news from the conference committee is
the confirmation of the Conference Dinner venue- The Tjapukai Aboriginal
Cultural Park. Not only a sumptuous buffet dinner but the full Tjapukai By
Night experience with Tjapukai welcome and Aboriginal dance
performances.
Early registration is advised especially if you want to take
advantage of one of our fantastic post conference tours. These have been
arranged at cost and include opportunities for an exclusive reef cruise which
visits Cook town and Lizard Island and includes tours of the historic sites of
both places; a fantastic trip to Chillagoe with visits to Aboriginal art sites
and the historic industrial sites; guided tours of Cooktown and the Atherton
Tableland, a post cyclone Larry tour of the Johnstone shire, and a walking tour
of the historic sites of Cairns city. Numbers for all tours are limited so get
in quick to secure your choice. All tours have been priced at cost only and
include local specialists as guides. As our tours are priced at cost with no
profit margin we require them to be fully subscribed to run them. All tours
utilise local north Queensland experts who have donated their services as tour
guides.
July is the best time to visit Cairns as it is generally sunny,
cool and dry and in the swimming season. Because of this however you should book
early to secure the best accommodation deals. The preferred accommodation area
is Trinity Beach (coach transport to the conference dinner will be provided free
to delegates staying at Trinity Beach only) and the best option is to organise a
shared apartment as there are many great holiday apartments opposite or in
walking distance to the beach. A number of places are offering
discount s to delegates. See our website www.aicomos.com
for more details. All information
is on the conference website which is being progressively updated as more
information comes to hand, however if any one
has any queries please feel free to contact me or our conference
organisers.
Our program includes:
·
Pre-conference meetings
and workshops. With a meet and great beachside BBQ in the evening to greet our
Pasifika delegates.
·
A full day symposium on the Heritage Impacts of
Climate Change (available as an optional extra event)
·
A public forum on the same topic to be held
on the evening of the 19th in the historic
Tanks Community Art Centre in the beautiful tropical setting of the Flecker
Botanical Gardens.
Sponsored by the Qld Department of
Natural Resources and Water.

Welcome drinks in the
magical tropical garden setting, in association with the public forum.

us and to assist key international and national speakers to attend. Our sponsors include The Department of Natural
Resources and Water- exclusive sponsors of the Public Forum and Platinum
