Sample local wines and gourmet food and have a shot at making your own wine, before returning to your hotel to prepare for the Welcome Reception at the State Reception Centre, Kings Park.

Wednesday is the first day of speaker sessions and you are most welcome to attend the opening keynote address with the Hon Jeff Kennett AC, former Premier of Victoria.

Perth Streets – Walking tour of your host city
11.00am – 2.00pm
Following morning tea you will commence a walking tour of Perth both on, but mainly off, the tourist track. This information-packed two hour guided walk takes you through the heart of Perth with a friendly “Sandgroper” as your guide. Explore the Central Business District, and hear about the history, heritage, culture and architecture of the city. You will discover the evolving small bar scene and little known, out of the way places. The tour takes time for a leisurely lunch at the Cheeky Sparrow, one of Perth’s new breed of cafes.
Afternoon at leisure.

A Night at the Museum
7.00pm – 10.30pm
Set in the heart of the Perth Cultural Precinct in Northbridge, this event is the perfect way to experience the many facets of Western Australian life from our history and culture to the bustling nightlife. The Cultural Precinct is undergoing a program of revitalisation that is totally transforming the inner city. You will be treated to a truly multi-cultural experience which is uniquely Northbridge.

 

THURSDAY 8th MARCH

Sculptures by the Sea
Sculptures by the Sea is an annual event where over 70 local, interstate and international artists transform Perth’s most popular beach into a stunning sculpture park overlooking the Indian Ocean. Afternoon tea will be at one of Perth’s funkiest restaurants, overlooking Cottesloe Beach and the sparkling green waters of the Indian Ocean.
Evening at leisure.

 

FRIDAY 9th MARCH

After lunch at the Art Gallery Cafe you will return to the convention centre for a special treat; the opportunity to chat to our motivational speaker, Robyn Moore before she goes on stage to wow the crowd. After that it is time to get ready for the evening’s festivities.
