Bush Summit 2021

The third annual Daily Telegraph Bush Summit is going virtual

Instead of heading to one of NSW's many vibrant regional centres, they will bring NSW to you. COVID has curtailed our ability to travel but it will not stop us celebrating all that is great about the bush and addressing crucial economic, social and political issues that need to be discussed.
