The aim of the tour is to expand participants knowledge of oak collections in Australia, connect oak enthusiasts with each other, with the ultimate aim of helping conserve the many common and rare oak species we currently have in Australia.
Participants will pay for their own accommodation and can attend as many or few days as they wish. Currently participants will organize their own transport but this may change if enough people attend to enable bus transport. It is anticipated that numbers will be capped around 20-25 people.
