The Great Barrier Reef will provide a fantastic setting for the full day trip to the uninhabited Frankland Islands.
Stuart Kininmonth, from the Australian Institute of Marine Science, will present on applications of spatial technologies pertinent to the area. There will also be plenty of time for networking, snorkelling and enjoying the natural beauty of an uninhabited tropical island.
The day has been organised by the Far North Queensland SSSI YPs. Although a SSSI YP is someone who is a member of the Surveying & Spatial Sciences Institute aged under 36 at the time of registration, attendance is open to anyone who is interested. Please register ASAP as bookings are strictly limited.
