Has been several months of working as always behind the scenes setting up the event. With many highlights including the official opening of the Pai Fang (welcome gate). Which is constructed of Australian spotted gum tree, carved by an ancestor of the original gold mining adventurers and the wording crafted by an esteemed Chinese calligrapher. Importantly our stand at the Chinese investor forum is booked and ready to present the new products to the market overseas.
