Thank you to all the participants who made the 12^th International Workshop on Railway Noise in Terrigal, Australia a great success!  We hope to see you at the next workshop in 2019.

On behalf of the Australian Acoustical Society, we would particularly like to thank our main sponsors (Pandrol Track Systems, Delkor Rail and Vossloh Fastenings Systems) and our hosting partner, Asset Standards Authority, for their support.

The group photograph is now available here and a selection of other photographs from the event will be added to the website in the near future.
