Australia has a total land area of 7.7 million km2, and a population of only about 22 million. Queensland alone has a land area of nearly 1.9 million km2, with about 3.2 million people living in the South East, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

It can be reached from the Brisbane International Airport in about 23 minutes by Airtrain.

The Fourth International Conference on Geotechnique, Construction Materials and Environment, GEOMATE 2014, will be held in Brisbane from 19 to 21 November 2014, in conjunction with the University of Southern Queensland, Australia, GEOMATE International Society, AOI-Engineering, Useful Plant Spread Society, HOJUN and Glorious International. It aims to provide a great opportunity to share common interests in geo-engineering, construction materials, environmental issues, water resources, and earthquake and tsunami disasters. The conference will be dedicated to those affected by the tragic Tohoku-Kanto earthquake which occurred on Friday 11 March 2011, at 14:46 Japan Standard Time, in which the north east of Japan was severely damaged. The three previous events were held in Tsu City, Mie, Japan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Nagoya, Japan, with more than 150 participants at each event. The organisers encourage and welcome your enthusiastic participation and look forward to receiving contributions demonstrating in-depth multidisciplinary technology towards new research and development.
