 |
| Some beautiful artwork was going up on the basket ball court and we used that as the back drop. |
 |
| All the PA and lighting was moved and we managed to put the staging away saving us time tearing down in the evening. |

| Winanjjikari Music Centre manager Adrian McNamara was one of the 25 recipients to take part in the "Seed" managerial workshop. |
 |
| Yep... Held in the beautiful blue mountains. In case you don't know that view is the famous "Three Sisters" at Katoomba. |
 |
| The "Seed" was originally inspired by this guy, super star and all round nice guy John Butler pictured with WMC Manager Adrian McNamara. |
 |
| Adrian's room mate for the week Brendan Boney, Australian winner of the 2011 APRA Professional Developments award with his (and partner Tessa's) awesome band "Microwave Jenny". |
 |
| It wasn't all sightseeing, in fact after the first day it was 3 days of intensive panels. |
 |
| Plus 3 days of round tables with the panelist. This break out room at "The Clarendon" was wonderful and the food sumptuous, making the intensiveness less intensive. |
 |
| There was also plenty of evenings that the talented performed. "Microwave Jenny" at the jam night on Wednesday. |
 |
| John Butler with Daniel (Mama Kin) the other half of the "Seed's" success. |
 |
| Garth Carwardine. Because any successful event needs a committed team. |
