Theme.
Resilience from Adversity.
The theme of our Australian Coatings Show 2022 conference, hosted by the Surface Coatings Association Australia, is “Resilience from Adversity, It’s in our DNA”.
Resilience… the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness. Our industry, over the past 30 months, has demonstrated resilience! Both in response to the bushfire disaster and COVID19. The industry resilience has been driven by our people’s resilience – without our people we don’t have an industry

LOCATION
Yarra Valley Lodge is located on the grounds of the exclusive Heritage Golf & Country Club at the gateway to the Yarra Valley and less than an hour’s drive from Melbourne.
Surrounded by nature, the 120-hectare estate offers an abundance of native wildlife and flora, which can be enjoyed from the comfort of rooms, terraces or along the myriad of walking tracks that surround the hotel.
Bella Restaurant and The Lodge Bar are showcases for the very best that the Yarra Valley has to offer. Fresh seasonal produce from local farmers and growers, premium wines from the best vineyards and winemakers, and exceptional hand-crafted drinks from independent breweries and distilleries.
Yarra Valley Lodge acknowledges the traditional owners, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, on whose land we meet, share and work. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging as well as extend our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from all nations of this land.
CLIMATE
The average daily temperature range for the Yarra Valley in May is 9°C to 17°C with an average rainfall for the month of 80mm.
The Yarra Valley weather forecast is typically a little cooler than the Melbourne temperatures throughout the year as the Yarra Valley is more mountainous and has higher elevations.
During Winter, the region experiences strong cold winds and frost and there is abundant rainfall with average temperatures sitting at an average of 15°C.
As a result, it is a good idea to be prepared and bring clothes that can be layered as well as a jacket. Temperatures will drop to their lowest in the mornings and evenings with average low temperatures of 9°C (48°F). However, they will climb to an average high of 17°C (63°F) in the afternoon hours. If you want to take note, one long term forecast as the weather during the conference as cloudy with day time temperatures of 15°C
Autumn is a good time to visit the Yarra Valley with average temperatures sitting at about 20°C, and the beautiful vines are at their best. However Autumn can be windy with intermittent days of rain. Most harvesting is during this period, so if you are interested in wine production, this is the best time to go.
Spring is certainly the best time to visit the Yarra Valley as the temperature sits at an average 20°C, with sunny days and cool nights. During Spring, the Yarra Valley comes to life and it is during this time that you will be able to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine as you take in the stunning panorama of Yarra Valley region.
The average high temperature in the Summer months is about 25°C, therefore summer in the Yarra Valley is pleasant and warm, with only a few very hot days.
HOW TO GET TO THE YARRA VALLEY
By Road – From Melbourne City to Yarra Valley (via Eastlink Tollway) – Make your way onto the Eastern Freeway and travel towards Ringwood. The Eastern Freeway turns into the Eastlink Tollway after Springvale Road. If you have an Eastlink or Citylink pass, continue on the Eastlink Tollway and go through the Mullum Mullum tunnel – make sure to stay in the left lane as the turnoff is straight after the tunnel ends. Turn left after exiting the tunnel towards Ringwood. (If you are heading to Warrandyte, take the next left at Warrandyte Rd). Turn left onto the Maroondah Highway towards Lilydale. Once past Lilydale, you can choose where in the Yarra Valley to explore.
By Public Transport Public Transport Victoria has regular trains heading to Lilydale Station. From Lilydale Station, catch a McKenzies bus to either Yarra Glen or Healesville. For travel to Warburton, catch a Ventura bus.

Entertainment
Bev Killick at the Wednesday Night Opening Drinks
Bev Killick is from the bold and brassy school of stand up, delivering a non-stop energetic set every time. As soon as she blast’s her way on stage, you know you’re in for a treat. Bev is likeable, bawdy and real.
Bev started making people laugh from the age of ten, at family gatherings. Invariably these gatherings would end up with Bev putting on a show. Always the class clown and lunch time entertainer, Bev’s ability to remember a joke (handed down from her Dad at the meatworks) and tell it well , saw her doing Stand Up Comedy in the school quadrangle long before she knew that it would be her calling.
Live music by Cam Bryce on Wed night
Cam has a passion and enthusiasm for music that is contagious. His general versatility and clever wit ensure a special delivery of popular covers encompassing everything from slow ballads through to party favourites. Much of his appeal comes he says from simply – doing what I love and loving what I do.
It’s this attitude matched with a professional easy-going manner that has seen Cam consistently performing at many venues throughout Geelong, Melbourne and the Surf coast, playing acoustic guitar and singing either solo or in his band Days Gone By.
Constantly extending his musical skills and repertoire as well as gaining new insights at every show Cam is fast becoming one of the regions most flexible players.
