Peter Cahalan

Thanks to Peter Cahalan of the SATC. Peter has attanded many regional meetings, forums and the like, espousing his take on tourism. He reminds us the history and stories need a sense of “belonging to a place” to work well, encourages us to delve in the humour and humanity of life to find it. Peter has encouraged many in the Flinders Ranges (and  elsewhere) to go-for-it. He also has great faith that there are many talented people beyond the bounds of metropolitan existence, that need to be given a go! SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title:... MORE
