The tours range geographically from the temperate regions of New Zealand, to Western Australia, and right up to the tropical coastal regions of Queensland that fringe the Great Barrier Reef. Other Congress Tours explore soil and soil-related issues in the varied and interesting landscapes in between these regions. The soil types examined will range in age from very recent volcanic soil to some of the most ancient and highly weathered soil on the planet.

The issues covered by these tours include: the pedology of soil formed from widely varying parent materials and widely varying climates, to soil- and soil management-related issues that are challenging the sustainability of our agriculture, and some of our most productive soil for horticulture and viticulture.

Opportunities for social interaction and for experiencing some of the unique environments of Australia and or New Zealand have also been included in each of the Congress Tours. It is expected that the allotted places on these Tours will fill quickly.
