The symposium will be held at the four star
Novotel Palm Cove Resort, Palm Cove,
Queensland, Australia.
See this sketch map of the facilities.
Located near a beautiful palm-fringed beach 20 km north of Cairns International
Airport, the Novotel Resort is only a short boat trip to
the Great Barrier Reef, one of the natural
wonders of the world,
and within easy reach of the
Atherton Tablelands, a
dense mosaic of unique plant and animal habitats, rainforests, rivers, lakes and waterfalls,
and of the
Daintree Forest, the second largest virgin tract of rainforest after the Amazon
rainforest in South America (and older than it).

Excursions to these and other
beauty spots will be offered during the week of the symposium, and
