Pre-Conference afternoon small-group walking tours of Melbourne for conference participants and accompanying family and friends. The tours will focus on the central business district (CBD) and will include the arcadea, graffiti laneways, and some interesting architecture. Tours will finish with a walk along the Yarra River and a stop at a place with some live music. The walking tour is free, but participants should register in advance so that we will have a sufficient number of guides.
