There have been a number of interesting developments in relation to the 2006 conference, which is now to be held at the superb venue, Customs House, Circular Quay. This very interesting historic building is now the home of the City of Sydney Library on the ground floor and the top floor has the wonderful award winning restaurant, Cafe Sydney. The building itself, of course, looks over Circular Quay; its conference facilities are excellent.

A conference group booking has been made at the Marriott Sydney Harbourside Hotel, which is located about 100 metres from Customs House in Pitt Street. It is a five star property and the rate of $215.00 per room per night is great value.

The meeting will have a dinner on Friday night at the superb Billson's Restaurant, located in the Radisson Plaza Hotel in the city. Tony Billson will personally take charge of the evening and promises a dinner to remember. The cost of the dinner is $125.00 for guests of conference attendees and trainees. Other guests who are not attending the conference are welcome to come but the cost in this case would be $150.00. The dinner is included in the registration fee for delegates.

Professor Anne Coleman from the Jules Stein Eye Institute, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles is the international invited guest speaker. Papers have been received from Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. An excellent program is being compiled which will include the Inaugural Gillies Lecture.
