Just four months to go to AUSTimber 2012

Friday 25 Nov 2011

There’s only four months to go until the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest forestry and timber expo – AUSTimber 2012. The event is being set in a forest of softwood and hardwood plantations just 15kms from a major regional centre, Mount Gambier, in the Green Triangle region of South Australia.

It’s been four years since the last AUSTimber and the 2012 event will showcase many new features, as well as new innovations and solutions for the forestry and timber industry and your business. AUSTimber’s not just about forestry – it’s about processing too – in fact everything from the seed to the mill gate and beyond. At this time in our industry AUSTimber is an opportunity to showcase to the world we are an industry in recovery and that the future looks bright, both in an economic and environmental sense.

The expo gives businesses that supply the industry the opportunity to display their new technologies and services and the industry the opportunity to see what’s new that can lead to increased efficiencies, profitability and sustainability .

The Forestworks AUSTimber conference ‘Precision Forestry in action intends to be hard hitting and controversial, challenging conventional thinking on precision forestry. Key note speakers include; Mr Michael O’Connor - the National Secretary of the CFMEU, a prominent and vital component of the Industry, and Dr Sadanandan Nambiar, a Research Fellow and former Chief Research Scientist with CSIRO.

The Caterpillar Welcome dinner will again be a great networking opportunity, with donations to a local charity. There’s lots more happening and the website is continually updated www.austimber.com.au and you can follow the latest news on Twitter and Facebook. Exhibitors are also being updated on the website, with major international exhibitors such as Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Tigercat, Waratah and many more.
