Members of the Australian Drilling Industry Association say they are excited about holding International Drill 2001 in Melbourne, Australia, from Oct. 12-14.

Last year, the Australian Drilling Industry Association (ADIA) federal board decided not to hold a conference, as they anticipated that the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney would have overshadowed it. As a result, the Victorian branch is chomping at the bit at the prospect of staging International Drill 2001 in Melbourne, Australia, from Oct. 12-14.
