Spheres of Influence: Ventures and Visions in Educational Development
3-6 July, 2002
The University of Western Australia
Perth, Western Australia
Venue
The conference will be held at The University of
Western Australia, Perth, Western Australia. The University is
located in a superb setting on the banks of the Swan River, just
five minutes from the central business district. With its
Mediterranean Romanesque architecture, it is widely acknowledged
as one of Australia's most beautiful university campuses.
As a centre for learning, it combines the refined traditions of
the world's old and great universities with the esprit and
excitement of study and research in the new millennium.
Perth, the capital city of Australia's
largest State - Western Australia - is one of the most isolated
cities in the world. But the journey is well worth it. With its
white sandy beaches and many parks, Perth offers its residents
and visitors a relaxed lifestyle combined with all the amenities
of a modern and vibrant city. Perth has a Mediterranean climate
with July temperatures in an average range from 8ºC
(46ºF) to 18ºC (64ºF).
Western Australia covers one-third of the Australian continent and has different climatic zones. It stretches from the warm tropical north to the cool forested South, from the mineral-rich deserts in the east to a pristine coastline in the west. The dolphins of Monkey Mia, the 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle range and the towering karri forests of the South West are some its natural wonders. Western Australia produces some of the finest wines in the world.
