A Cultural Mission in Mission Beach

You can smell it. Straight off the plane. G + T – Glorious Tropicana. Cairns was all sunny and bright light as I worked my way south to where the mountains meet the sea. This weekend a cultural mission to Mission Beach. Greyness descended the closer I drew to my exotic destination. The misty rain just seemed to make the grandeur grander. And so followed a day in conference with the Champions of Cultural Champions of the Cassowary Coast, discussing all things cultural from vitality to public value to regional development to relationships, networking and the exciting ideas that can come from creative collaboration. Thank you CCRC for a forum well planned and well timed. Great things ahead. And thank you FAA for facilitating the gig.
