Melbourne is a city renowned for its love of arts, culture, sport, dining, and of course, coffee! There are countless opportunities to enjoy these in the city or take a drive and experience nearby tall forests, temperate rainforests, alpine environments, the Mallee, windswept coastlines, and more. There are numerous accommodation options close to Melbourne Zoo or just a short 5-10 minute tram or train trip to Melbourne's CBD.

In addition to the formal, scientific program and presentations, there will be multiple social events, including a mixer and early registration on the Sunday evening, and the student dinner on Monday evening and ‘old farts’ dinner on Tuesday evening.
