*Don't miss out on this amazing educator opportunity!
*
Come with GSA to Australia!  We are taking a group of teachers and their 
families to the land Downunder to examine the worlds oldest caves, the 
amazing scenery of the Sydney Basin, snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, 
visit the Daintree Rainforest and explore the wonders of Uluru (Ayers 
Rock) and the amazing desert landscape of the outback.  All these 
amazing field sites will be discussed in terms of their geology, 
geography and how GPS related activities (EarthCaching, EarthTrek and 
GIS) can be used in the classroom.

The trip is led by Gary Lewis, the GSA Director of Education and 
Outreach, who grew up and studied in Australia.  Gary worked for nine 
years with the equivalent of the USGS in Australia and has led trips to 
many parts of the globe.  Co leaders are Roger and Anita Palmer from 
GISetc, who lead field experiences and training for teachers based on 
GPS technologies around the world.

This is a once--in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Australia with such 
experienced leaders and with other like-minded teachers.

Trip registration ends soon!   Don't miss out....call or email Gary 
Lewis *_TODAY_* if you want more information!   Glewis at geosociety.org or

*Australia :
Earth Science Adventure and Technology
18-29 July
*
Join a group of Earth science and geography educators who want to learn 
about the wonders of Australian earth science.  Participants on this 
trip will be exposed to technology like GPS, GIS and probe ware and how 
it can be used to further examine the natural environment.
 
The trip will take in Sydney, Blue Mountains, Jenolan Caves, Cairns, 
Great Barrier Reef, Rainforest skyway, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and more!
 
The trip costs includes airfare from LAX, all Australian transport 
(including flights), accommodation and many meals.  Cost : $5,500. 
  (Without international airfares, the cost is $3700 if you want to take 
advantage of miles or the current cheap airfare deals).
 
This trip is open to all elementary, middle and high school teachers and 
educators who run training sessions for them.  This is an educationally 
rigorous program, and while families are more than welcome, partners and 
children will need to follow the same schedule as the group.
