A conference is a fabulous place for sharing research, learning from each other, and networking with peers. It is also a fantastic time to immerse yourself in the local flora, fauna, and culture of your host city of Brisbane or Meanjin, as named by Turrbal people, one of two traditional owner groups of the area.

We are delighted to welcome you to our exclusive suite of field trip offers, designed to enrich your conference experience with unforgettable adventures when you immerse yourself in Brisbane’s vibrant culture and Queensland’s stunning flora and fauna. 

Whether you are passionate about experiencing nature while in Meanjin/Brisbane, eager to learn about local heritage, or simply looking to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city, we have a trip that suits your interests.

We understand the demands of a busy conference schedule, which is why we offer walks and shorter excursions during the conference week as well as longer field trips on weekends before and after the conference. This flexible timing ensures you have the opportunity to take part in these enriching experiences at your convenience.

Our suite of field trips on offer just for ICCB delegates includes short, single day and multi day trip options – please find all details of field trips currently on offer below! 

We will add additional opportunities to this page as they become available.
