    Yesterday we had confirmation from Daryl Hannah and Charris Ford that they will come to APC10 in September. Daryl is very keen to focus on environmental issues connecting farming practices to protection of the Great Barrier Reef. She is intending to do her PDC with Darren J Doherty at Rosella Waters. This is the Media Release and the apc10 website has been updated.
