Our annual Australian Statistical Mechanics Meeting will be held this year at the University of New South Wales on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12 December, 2006, with assistance from the Gordon Godfrey Fund for Theoretical Physics. This year the meeting will be in the two-day format and will cover all topics related to statistical mechanics.

The sessions will be held in the Old Main Building, School of Physics, University of New South Wales, commencing at 10.00 a.m. on Monday and 9.00 a.m on Tuesday. Coffee, tea and biscuits will be available. A table will be set up to display recent preprints and reprints.
