Fabio Gomes spoke about his “amazing experience two weeks ago”.  He said Duncan Stalker invited him to The Order of Australia Conference in Melbourne. The adventure started on Monday when Brian took Fabio to Melbourne. He stayed the night at Duncan’s house. On Tuesday Brian took a group, including Fabio, along the Great Ocean Road and on to Flagstaff Hill. On Wednesday Fabio and the group headed back to Melbourne via Ballarat. On Thursday, the first day of the Conference, he walked around “Historic Melbourne” and in the evening he attended the Governor’s Reception at Government House. On the Friday he went to Melbourne University for two interesting lectures and then visited the MCG. In the evening along with the Members of the Order of Australia, Fabio attended the Premier’s reception, where he met a girl with “an amazing singing voice”. Saturday included a visit to SKYDECK and dinner at the RACV Club.  On Sunday following a visit to the Shrine, the Conference ended with a “delicious lunch at the MCG”.  Fabio said he met so many interesting and wonderful people, including the Governor and Miss Australia. If you would like to hear more about the Miss Australia story, you need to ask him!

Fabio concluded by saying, “I had a wonderful week, I don’t have words enough to describe how good it was.” He thanked Margaret and Duncan Stalker for everything....  for their hospitality and the opportunity to experience so much.
Fabio asked everyone to “put your hands together for Duncan who ran one of the most amazing conferences.  Everything was perfect.”
