I'm a botanist/fire ecologist based in San Francisco and will be in Queensland for six weeks starting September 9.  I'm very 
interested in hooking up with some local botanists to get acquainted with the regional flora.  I'll be based in Townesville but will be 
moving around as much as possible.  I'd very much like to meet researchers for a chance to see what's current on the ecology front.
If you wouldn't mind a Yank tagging along on a field trip, I'd like to hear about it.  Please respond to my e-mail address.  Cheers.

While you're there look out for agathis robusta, a very fine tree and
related to the New Zealand Kauri - agathis australis.  The Kauri was
once a very important source of high quality timber, until they cut
virtually every single one down.
