Invitation from ANCID Chairman - Stephen Mills
THIS IS AUSTRALIA. Australia today is a
diverse and vibrant multi-cultural democratic society with
the official language being English. Our currency is the Australian
dollar. Agricultural activities have layed the foundation
of the nation we are today.
The 2nd ICID Asian Regional Conference will be held in Echuca/Moama
Victoria Australia located on the banks of Australia’s
longest river the Murray. Echuca/Moama is known for having
the largest fleet of paddlesteamers in Australia, working
heritage port area, wine district and sporting activities
such as golf, lawn bowls, water skiing and fishing. The area
is also known for use of the land such as livestock farming
(dairy herds, beef cattle, horses, sheep), horticulture (wheat,
rice, tomatoes, olives), viticulture and aquaculture (yabbies,
fish).
In its hey day the Port of Echuca had 240 boats through
the port earning it the reputation of the busiest inland port
in Australia. Produce such as wool, hay and grain made its
way into the port via the river where is would then be moved
to Melbourne via rail.
Boasting more days of sunshine than Queensland, Echuca has
come a long way since those early days with a variety of restaurants,
pubs, cafes, vineyards, a feast for all the senses that will
make the flavours of Australia linger long after you've left
our shores.
