CONFERENCE LOCATION
Advances in Modal Logic 2006 will be held at Australis Noosa Lakes
Conference Centre located at Noosaville, Noosa, Sunshine Coast,
Queensland.

Noosa and Noosa National Park are legendary in Australia. The
protected cove beach virtually guarantees perfect surf year round and
the stroll around the headland through the National Park rewards you
with spectacular seascapes. Hastings Street, the hub of Noosa, is a
mecca for designer label shoppers and discerning diners.
