ANZEF Cape to Cape Trek

A Post-Congress Adventure For a Good Cause

 If you enjoy the outdoors, a unique opportunity awaits to stretch your legs and unwind after Congress on one of WA’s most spectacular hiking trails. RANZCO’s Foundation ANZEF invites Congress delegates to explore sections of the iconic Cape to Cape Track in the Margaret River Region (south of Perth) from 24-27 October.

Every step you take will raise awareness and funds for those facing barriers to ophthalmic care. Find more information and how to register here.

We trust that the scientific and social programs of the Congress will provide all that you need to make RANZCO’s 54th annual meeting enjoyable and satisfying.
