The 16th annual conference of the AMHA, will be the first conference the Association has staged out of Australia. Greymouth was selected as the most appropriate venue for the conference because the West Coast region of the South Island of New Zealand has a rich and varied mining heritage including gold rushes, coal mining, gold dredging, mining industrial history, and mine disasters etc. Conference attendees will be able to see much of the fascinating mining history of this region.
There will be a two-day pre-conference mining history tour on the Monday and Tuesday, 5 and 6 July, 2010, and a one day post-conference tour on Sunday, 11 July. For details on accommodation for the pre-conference tour click here.
