PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
10th Australian Magnetic Resonance Conference
Kingfisher Bay, Fraser Island
Queensland, Australia
DECEMBER 7-10, 1997
INVITATION
The organising committee welcomes your attendance at ANZMAG 97. This meeting
incorporates the 10th Australian Magnetic Resonance Conference and follows the
very successful joint meeting with ISMAR in Sydney in 1995 at which the
Australian and New Zealand Society for Magnetic Resonance (ANZMAG) was
inaugurated. The conference will cover all major areas of magnetic resonance
including solution and solid state NMR and EPR.
CONFERENCE VENUE
The conference will be held at the Australian Tourism Award winning Kingfisher
Bay Resort and Village on Fraser Island. World Heritage-listed Fraser Island
is a unique natural wonder which lies at the southern end of the Great Barrier
Reef. The island is the world's largest sand island and has 120km of sandy
ocean beach, cliff faces of spectacular colour sands, lush tropical
rainforests, freshwater streams, perched dune lakes and massive sand blows.
The weather in December is superb with clear blue skies and warm temperatures.
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
Topics to be covered include:
Biomolecular NMR
Chemical Applications
EPR
Imaging/microscopy
Instrument and technique development
In vivo NMR
Multinuclear NMR
polymers/materials
Solid State NMR

informal discussion and allow delegates to enjoy the delights of Fraser Island.
For delegates bringing their family, the island offers a wide range of
organised events which will run in parallel with the scientific program.
