Melbourne Water Youth Conference 2009
The 2009 Melbourne Water Youth Conference brought together more than 400 students and teachers from across Victoria to explore ideas and share information around this year’s theme of ‘creating water smart cities’.
Ethiad Stadium in Melbourne’s Docklands played host to the conference’s first day, and fittingly, World Environment Day set the scene for day two as participants descended on Melbourne Zoo.
