What a year we’ve all had! And one we should all be immensely proud of our industry’s contribution to Australia. Even the media have noticed our huge contribution throughout COVID. Let’s start with a heartfelt round of applause to everyone in our industry, yep, loud applause, and please don’t stop with just clapping, whistling, feet stomping, flag raising, dancing, cheering all great! And another round of applause please for all the related industries and businesses that the mining industry supports. National Mining & Related Industries Day, rightly deserves to be a very important day on our nation’s calendar.

This year, our fifth annual National Agriculture and Related Industries day, we had planned one of the biggest celebrations ever to mark our appreciation of all those in agriculture, and this important National day. Unfortunately with the uncertainty of COVID restrictions, we had to postpone our event. Please join us in the Whitsundays next National day, November 21 2022. National Agriculture & Related Industries Day is our day to come together and hold celebrations around the country to acknowledge the over three hundred thousand hard working men and women across our essential industry.
