  2. Sorry I didn’t mean to submit the above post as anonymous. Can’t say what has happened with the fortmatting when I cut and pasted ther Word document into your blog. Regards, marc Aussie-Stone

    1. I recommend you copy and paste into Notepad (on PC, not WordPad). That strips out Word nasties. I’ll delete the others, Marc. 🙂

  4. I am pleased to report that I have been advised, in Canberra, by a Director of AUSIndustry, that my major recommendation to the National innovations Review, has been taken up by the Federal Government, and a National Commercialisation Institute opens its doors for business January 1, 2010. It now remains to be seen whether the NCI will provide seed funding for the long planned and vital, strategic, replicable, pilot model, first stage of the first of many Rural Inland Discovery Villages. This being essential to kick off the ongoing inflow into Australia of thousands of long haul, long stay, big spend, special interest affluent, overseas visitors. Australia has the potential of being the world’s next best long stay , special interest, destination. These visitors epnd 300 to $1000 a day and stay one to 3 weeks. One village can generate $40,000,000 annually for the rural region where it can be located. 60 Inland Discovery Villages can attract 2.4 billions annually into Rural Regions.
