[Pil-pc-oceania] Roberto Perez to visit Australia 2008

Tue Nov 27 19:32:58 EST 2007

Hi Sue

Getting the uni to organise something would be fantastic. Southern Cross Uni
and Sunshine Coast Uni have already expressed interest. I¹m hoping to have a
clearer idea of itinerary parameters and potential dates by end of next
week.
Good luck!!!

Ciao 
Robyn
