Mr. Martin Dillon was not able to attend the congress, as it coincided with the birth of his son on 24 November 1993. However, Martin Dillon and Dr. Gary Fitt were co-authors with others, on two papers presented at the congress by Mr. Wayne Rochester. As well as being published in the conference proceedings, both papers were also selected for publication in a special edition of the journal Ecological Modelling, and are currently in press. Copies of the papers are attached. After notifying the CRDC, the travel funds were used for Mr. Martin Dillon to attend the 1994 Conference of the Ecological Society of Australia at Alice Springs, 28 - 30 September 1994. This conference included a special symposium on "Applied spatially dynamic modelling" which was of particular interest to Mr. Dillon and his co-author Mr. Wayne Rochester. A number of valuable contacts were made with Australian and international scientists interested in modelling the spatial dynamics of organisms. A poster paper and an oral presentation were presented at the meeting (abstracts are attached). There were no proceedings published from this conference.
