MHSA Biennial Conference 2006 The first Biennial Conference and in fact the first Society meeting I ever attended was the 1982 Albury-Wodonga Biennial Conference. The 2004 conference was the third I have attended at Albury-Wodonga. In fact the only conference I have missed since 1982 was the 1996 South Australian Biennial Conference. So I am delighted that the South Australian Branch is organising the 2006 conference and I promise the convenor Tony Harris that this time I will try and not break a leg and actually get to Adelaide. OK it was a fracture but it still prevented me going and my airline ticket was forfeited and as well as losing my money I also got no frequent flyer frequent flyer Hospital practice A popular term for a Pt who is regularly admitted to a particular ER or health care facility, for various reasons points. The first notice for the conference appears on page 4 and I urge all members register early.

Most articles from 1996 plus several from 1994-1995 have been scanned. APAFT is a subscription service but is available through state, university and some public libraries.

The Society's policy is to infer a further licence to reprint or permit publication elsewhere unless the author (who retains copyright) specifically instructs otherwise.

Sabretache Unfortunately there is no Water Cart in this issue but "Joe Furphy A furphy, also commonly spelt furfie, is Australian slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story. The word is derived from water carts made by a company established by John Furphy: J. Furphy & Sons of Shepparton, Victoria. " assures me that he will be back in June. Anthony Staunton Editor |
