Ecology 2002 - Cairns, Queensland 
With almost 600 delegates, Ecology 2002 was a great success,
being the largest ecology conference ever held in the Southern
Hemisphere. The 2002 annual meeting of the ESA was held jointly
with the New Zealand Ecological in Cairns and featured a mix of
special symposia and open forum sessions, a postgraduate students'
day, and optional excursions to surrounding regional attractions.
