 Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (14:04): During the break I attended the Seymour Alternative Farming Expo over the entirety of the three days that the expo ran. The expo has been running for 35 years now and has grown to see around 400 exhibitors provide the visiting crowd of more than 20,000 with plenty of machinery on show and exhibitors showcasing innovations in small acreage farming, sustainable practices and rural lifestyle products. Each year I have been I have seen the expo grow, spoken to thousands of people about our state issues and worked with many of them to deliver their voices to this very chamber. The Seymour expo is always a highlight on my calendar each year, and I look forward to next year’s expo yet again.
