On the Stage Again

I've just confirmed my next stage appearance! On 22 May - Brian, recognise that date? - I'm going to Hamilton in Western Victoria which is about 1500km from here. I can't drive that far in less than a week - there and back, so once again I'll take to the air. Unfortunately, Hamilton is a difficult place to get to by air. First, there's the trip to Sydney on a small turboprop (50-seater). There, I have to transfer from terminal 2 to terminal 3 for the flight to Melbourne's Tullamarine airport. On arrival in Melbourne I then have to make my way to Essendon airport for the final leg to Hamilton

The trip is to deliver a speech to a regional development forum in western Victoria on the evening of the 23rd and I'll travel back the following day. One of my former doctoral graduates heads up a regional development program at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology's (RMIT's) Hamilton campus and we're supposed to be writing a book together. My presentation will be on the importance of visioning the future in regional strategy.
