The Covidium Happens Here

Here is Duncan's interview: https://youtu.be/VcmkISXgswk

https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/category/books?keyword=symposium%20of%20australian%20gastronomy It is interesting to see the names of the people who have been involved with the symposia over time and the people who have been involved with editing the conference proceedings. Would a thought be that there be an honour board that is created to acknowledge the contribution of long term participants/supporers of the Symposium. Also worth considering whether there needs to be a named keynote address (eg The Pont Lecture or the Santich Address) which is a regular part of each and every symposium. Might be something where invite a key international figure to present that keynote. Just an idea

I thought it would be useful to look at the summaries prepared by Barbara Santich on the early symposia. Like Barbara, these summaries are measured, succinct and self contained. https://www.classic.com.au/wizard/SAG2.htm (1985) https://www.classic.com.au/wizard/SAG3.htm (1987) https://www.classic.com.au/wizard/SAG4.htm (1988) https://www.classic.com.au/wizard/SAG5.htm (????) https://www.classic.com.au/wizard/SAG6.htm (1991) https://www.classic.com.au/wizard/SAG7.htm (1993) https://www.classic.com.au/wizard/SAG8.htm (1994) https://www.classic.com.au/wizard/SAG9.htm (1996)
