Happy Easter! Hope you’re enjoying some down time. Here’s the DMT Conference Program featuring our speakers and topics. Dr Lauren Burns OAM, who was one of only three Australian women to win an individual Olympic Gold Medal, made history at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
As we charge in to April, with the Easter school holidays on the horizon, the pace is certainly not slowing down at Daylesford Macedon Tourism. The deadline for our winter magazine is fast approaching, we have limited spots left in our Tasty Little Touring Map and our winter ‘grow your database’ giveaway is shaping up to be a good one.
After a torrid couple years, it’s time to have a great conference and a convivial catch up. So, we have organised the biggest and best conference our region has seen. Seriously. We have a really fantastic list of speakers and will share more soon.
