The moth is representative of a particular species found in the Australian Alpine National Park, where the majority of the conference and activities will be held. The ‘Bogong moth’ is a creature of some significance to the indigenous people of this area (both spiritually and as a food source) and seemed an appropriate symbol for MSLS alumni (below) hence it was chosen as the symbol of this gathering!

• moths to a flame, attracted to the light
• transforming from pupae into beautiful winged creatues
• a small group of us flapping our wings, and creating storms of energy and wonder on the other side of the world
• flitting here and there, bogong moths travel great distance each year…
