Australasian Ornithological Conference

Australasian Ornithological Conferences are biennial meetings of ornithologists that focus on the Australasian region and Antarctica. They were initiated by the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union (RAOU), also known as Birds Australia, with the inaugural meeting held at Bathurst, New South Wales in 2001. They have subsequently been jointly sponsored by the RAOU and the Ornithological Society of New Zealand (OSNZ). Further conferences have been held at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, in 2003, and at Blenheim, New Zealand in 2005. The fourth will be held at Perth, Western Australia, in 2007.
