Australia is proud to host the 68th World Science Fiction Convention. We hope you'll join us for the opportunity to meet writers and artists, publishers and editors, and science fiction fans from around the world. You'll also have a chance to attend the prestigious Hugo Awards Ceremony and see award-winning artwork.
This is the fourth worldcon to be held in Australia, and our previous conventions (1975, 1985, 1999) have been widely acclaimed. Aussiecon4 is shaping up to be the best yet!
The convention location is in the heart of the exciting city of Melbourne. We hope you'll take this opportunity to explore the city and go walkabout in our beautiful country. Join today! If you're already a member, think about volunteering!
We hope you'll join us for this wonderful experience.
