& registration brochure

In 2012, the ACA Victoria Branch will host the annual ACA
conference in Melbourne at the Crown Conference Centre.
The annual ACA conference is a three day gathering of
world experts on corrosion mitigation. This will be a
premium networking event as well as a source for the
latest information concerning corrosion mitigation.
Entitled Corrosion & Prevention 2012, the conference
will comprise a programme of keynote presentations
and presentations under a range of industry ‘streams’,
integrated with an exhibition which will showcase
products and services of the corrosion mitigation
industry. Approximately 400-450 delegates are expected
to attend from industries such as protective coatings,
water, defence, building and construction, mining, oil &
gas, cathodic protection, power and more.
Your Hosts
The Australasian Corrosion Association Incorporated
(ACA) is a membership not-for-profit, industry association,
established in 1955 to service the needs of Australian and
New Zealand companies, organisations and individuals
involved in the fight against corrosion.
The mission of the ACA is to promote the co-operation
of academic, industrial, commercial and governmental
organisations in relation to corrosion and its mitigation
and for disseminating information on all aspects of
corrosion and its prevention by promoting lectures,
symposia, publications and other activities.

The Destination
Consistently voted one of the world’s most liveable cities,
Melbourne is a lively and cosmopolitan city that combines
a fanatical love for the creative arts and good living with
a state-wide sports addiction to make a city like no other.
Set around the shores of Port Phillip Bay, the central
business district is located on the northern banks of the
picturesque Yarra River.
But it is within Melbourne’s hidden laneways where the
city truly comes to life, where mainstream culture takes a
back seat to allow for one-off boutiques, unique galleries,
tiny cafés and hidden bars. With an eclectic dining scene
that offers a startling array of the world’s great cuisines,
from popular favourites to the truly ground breaking.
Although Melbourne is celebrated as Australia’s home to
the arts, sport and shopping, just one hour’s drive from
the city takes you a world away from the urban frenzy.
With destinations like the Yarra Valley, The Great Ocean
Road and Victoria’s Goldfields region you can take your
pick from 100 local vineyards, rest and relax at award
winning day spas, tee off at world class golf courses or
even enjoy a swim with the dolphins.
Melbourne is a creative, exciting, ever-changing city
with extraordinary surprises to be discovered in every
basement, rooftop and laneway. The possibilities are
endless, so forget what you think you know. Take a chance,
lose yourself in Melbourne.
Hugging the tip of the Australian east coast, Victoria is
Australia’s second-smallest state. Few places can match
the vast natural diversity on offer in Victoria. Packed into
such a compact area is a wealth of diverse regional areas
and attractions, from sweeping coastline and pristine
beaches to national parks and forests teeming with
wildlife to wineries, lakes and mountains offering skiing,
climbing and hiking. Best of all, many of Victoria’s unique
and varied landscapes are easily accessible as day trips
from Melbourne.
Whether discovering Australia’s gold mining history at
an historical township such as Ballarat, or getting up
close and personal with wildlife and penguins at the
Phillip Island Nature Park, visit regional Victoria for an
unforgettable experience.

Monday: Tour of the Mornington Peninsula
The gentle maritime climate puts a very individual stamp
on Mornington Peninsula wines. This tour visits two
wineries including T’Gallant which is the Funkiest winery
on the Peninsula. Pinot Gris is their signature. After your
cellar door tasting enjoy a great lunch in the innovative
and exciting La Baracca restaurant. Following lunch, visit
the Thermal Mineral Pools - Peninsula Hot Springs and
enjoy a social bathe in the public Bath House. The thermal
mineral water temperature varies from pool to pool
ranging from 36ºC to 43ºC. The waters abound in rich
minerals that infuse the body while you relax and soak up
the natural surrounds.
Wednesday: Melbourne Laneway Tour
and Yarra River Cruise
Melbourne’s Laneways are famous around Australia
and exist as a result of the unique circumstances that
surrounded the creation of the city. When visiting
Melbourne taking a Laneways Tour is a fascinating activity
to understand this city 176 years ago. The Laneway guide
will help you see, hear, taste and feel the best of what
Melbourne has to offer.
The Laneway Tour of Melbourne is a 3 hour cultural visit to
Melbourne’s secret laneways, hidden shops and the ‘hole
in the wall’ eateries that locals love. The tour takes you
through our vibrant city laneways, past historic places,
down into funky shops or up into eclectic galleries. We
arrange for you to sample chocolates, taste great coffee
and eat a yummy lunch!
Tuesday: Tour of the Queen Victoria Markets
Meet some of the specialist traders and learn some handy
hints in selecting produce while tasting an exclusive
range of their culinary delights.
Immerse yourself in the food culture of Queen Victoria
Market, see the freshest seasonal produce and spot
the latest foodie trends and styles. Treat yourself to
flavour in the exciting hustle and bustle of Melbourne’s
historical market.
The Laneway Tour will be followed by a River Cruise
along Melbourne’s Yarra River seeing the city’s
picturesque gardens, parklands and some of our famous
sporting arenas.
Partner programme also includes tickets to the
Welcome Function, Exhibition Opening, Gala Dinner
and Farewell Function
The tour includes morning coffee along with generous
food samplings. Once the tour concludes partners will
have the opportunity to roam free in the market.
