Optional post-conference visits to horticultural facilities

Day 4 – Thursday 24 July 2008

Pre and post harvest conference tours of research facilities can be organised for individuals or groups by contacting the research centres listed below. All research centres are based in South East Queensland and are within a half day driving trip from the Gold Coast.

Tours are by appointment only and it would be appreciated if conference delegates could make these two weeks before the conference. Appointments can be made by contacting person provided for each centre and by stating that you are a delegate of the "Smart Science in Innovative Horticultural Enterprises" National Horticultural Conference being held at the Gold Coast in July.
