Our Society marked the
International Geographical Union 2006 Brisbane Conference with the
publication of Queensland: Geographical Perspectives. This
collection of essays represents some of the recent work of
geographers active in Queensland and reflects the diversity of
research undertaken by geographers specialising in various fields,
and by other professionals whose work is closely related to
geography. The book has been edited by Society Councillors Iraphne
Childs and Brian Hudson.
Copies may be bought from the
Society office at a cost of $25.00. See the Order
page.
