What an absolute privilege! Today I was asked to be the Australia Day speaker at Mitiamo as the gentleman who was supposed to speak couldn't make it Ive had many people ask for a copy of what I said - so here it is! Enjoy and Advance Australia Fair I would like to talk to you today about connections – no not the Goulburn Murray Water project but connections. My name is Dianne Bowles and together with my husband Gary, we are dairy farmers in Mead which is about 40 minutes drive from here. I wear, and have worn various “hats” and today I’m here to talk to you on Australia Day and hopefully I will inspire you to connect The Dictionary defines connection as a relationship in which a person or thing is linked or associated with something else. We are all here today because we are connected in some way to Mitiamo Some are here because I suspect you were born and raised here, some go to school close to here and some are just passing through and saw something happening
