It was the first cryptozoological conference held in Australia, and the first time Australia's leading researchers had been able to present their findings and meet with others working in the same field. 82 page proceedings of the Myths and Monsters Conference printed onto white paper. The following topics were presented: * A brief History of Australian Cryptozoology (Paul Cropper) * Would the Real Orang-Utan Please Stand Up and be Counted?
