16th Engineering Heritage Australia Conference - First Announcement
Hosted by Engineers Australia, this conference is the next in the series of biennial Australia and New Zealand engineering heritage conferences, the last being in Dunedin in New Zealand in November 2009, when a preview of the Hobart conference was presented.
The Conference Organising Committee is now inviting preliminary expressions of interest to participate, as registrants, as keynote speakers, as authors of papers or poster presentations, or to join the pre-conference tour. Further information including the conference programme, pre-conference tour itinerary, call for papers and registration details will be provided in the coming months.
The aim of the conference is to highlight the importance of our engineering heritage and to encourage actions which will help to conserve it for coming generations to understand, enjoy and appreciate. Papers which help others to achieve these objectives will be particularly welcome. However papers are not restricted to the conference theme of Conserving our heritage – Make a difference!
Hobart is Australia’s second oldest city. It has a magnificent harbour and Mt Wellington as spectacular backdrop. Numerous historic houses and commercial and industrial premises tell fascinating heritage stories from Colonial times to the present day.
