Note1: As international IPMEN’08 delegates would most likely fly to Townsville via Brisbane, Sydney or Cairns, you should look carefully at connecting flights to Townsville to make sure you arrive in Townsville on October 16.
Note2: As scholarship funds will be limited we respectfully request that you opt for the most direct and economical flights. However, in line with the “walk the (environmental) talk” conference policy we also ask you to consider opting for an airline that offers carbon offsets (include this cost in your request for airfares).
Note 3: All delegates, other than Australian and New Zealand citizens, will need a valid visa or authority to enter Australia. Details of how to apply are on the IPMEN’08 web site under Travel to Townsville.
