CLIMATE
Tasmania has a maritime climate with mild days and cool nights.  During October the average maximum daytime temperature is 18 and an average night time temperature of 7 degrees with an average rainfall of 57mm over 12 days of the month so we do suggest you bring clothing that can be layered. Make sure you bring along warm clothing, sturdy footwear and a raincoat for the field tours.

REGISTERING FOR FIELD TOURS
On the registration form you are asked to indicate your preferences for Field Tours.  Places are limited and preferences will be allocated according to the chronological receipt of registration forms.  All tours will leave from the conference venue.  Tours will be colour coded to ensure their smooth running. 

ACCOMMODATION
Standard check-in and check-out times apply with all listed hotels.  Check in time to hotels is 2.00pm and check out time is 11.00am – to accommodate outside these hours please make arrangements direct with your hotel.  Every effort will be made by your hotel to accommodate early check-ins.

SHUTTLE SERVICE
For your convenience a daily shuttle service will be used to pick up and deliver delegates to the conference venue and deliver back to your hotels following the daily conference program. A bus timetable will be delivered to your hotel reception daily.
