Just arrived in the flesh! NOEC’26 Polo Shirt – yours for $74 – order when registering for the conference and pickup at the conference. Modelled here by some of the TAS Outdoor Education team who will be assisting with the conference.

This incredible polo shirt has been created and supplied by Dreamtime Sports, using the work of Indigenous Artist Jason Douglas. The artwork is titled “inlets” and signifies a meeting place and connection – a great theme for a National Conference!

About the Artist – Jason Douglas.

Jason is a Murri Man, whose people belong to the tribal lands of the Kabi Kabi of south-eastern Queensland, including Noosa. His father, Michael Douglas is Traditional Owner/ Native Title Kubi-Kubi. Jason’s company, Memories of Australia, is a proud member of the Aboriginal Art Association of Australia (AAAA). Learn more about Jason here: https://memoriesofaustralia.com.au/artists/jason-douglas/

Our fabulous conference volunteers will be wearing these shirts. You can also buy one of these polos if you register for the conference. They come in both men’s and women’s sizings and cuts, for just $74. You order this as an “add-on” to your conference registration (bottom of the long list of add-ons) and it will be ready for you upon your arrival at the conference.

Orders close July 31 to ensure safe arrival. If you have already registered for the conference you can use the confirmation email to go back into your registration to add this, and even pay by a different method.
