CHANGE OF DATE FOR KERFERD ORATION IN BEECHWORTH

The date for this year’s Kerferd Oration in Beechworth with Rev Tim Costello AO has been changed.

The Oration was to have been held at La Trobe Beechworth on Sunday July 19, but it has been moved back two weeks to Sunday, August 2.

The Oration is held in the Kerferd Conference Centre starting at 11am and doors will be open at 10.15am. Organisers are expecting a large crowd similar to last year when more than 750 people turned out to listen to Prof Tim Flannery.

Rev Tim Costello is a leading voice on social justice issues, having spearheaded public debates on gambling, poverty, homelessness, reconciliation and substance abuse.

As CEO of World Vision Tim’s leadership inspired unprecedented generosity in Australia with $100 million raised for World Vision for tsunami relief in 2004.

His passion for justice reaches across political and social divides.

His Oration is on “Community values for a World in Need”.

Stanley Bears Special Limited Edition for 2009

George Francis,
Pioneer Vigneron Founder of Morris Wines Rutherglen, Victoria
Celebrating 150 years of Winemaking at Rutherglen Victoria


Rutherglen is the oldest continuous wine producing area in Australia, with the Morris family celebrating their 150th Anniversary this year.
When we approached David Morris he was honoured to have his great-grandfather’s name attached to the bear. David is the fifth generation vigneron in the Morris dynasty. Since 1993 he has won more awards than any other Australian winemaker.

In releasing George Francis we are also honouring all the winemakers of Rutherglen who produce some outstanding vintages every year. The area is well known for its fortifieds as well as wide range of other wines. As wine expert James Halliday has said, it is ‘one of the truly great wine tourism destinations.’

Lay-by is available over four months, and we would like all bears to be collected by November 30, 2009. Last’ year’s Special Edition sold out in just nine weeks and we expect a similar response this year.
