CONFERENCES - Nationally, membership and support for Astrology grew to enable hosting of the FAA International Astrology Conferences, held every two years in a different capital city in Australia. The QFA hosted the highly successful IACs in Brisbane in 1998 "Living Astrology" and again in 2010 "Surfing New Waves of Consciousness - Fearless and Free". International Astrologers join the best of Australian Astrologers to deliver a wide variety of lectures and workshops.
