THE Governor-General, David Hurley, and his wife will visit Vietnam next week in recognition of the 50th anniversary of bilateral relations between the two countries.
The April 3-6 visit will include meetings with the President Vo Van Thuong; Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong.
Government House says the Governor-General and Mrs Hurley will attend events in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City “to recognise and celebrate the strong trade, cultural and people-to-people links between Australia and Vietnam”.
Governor of Victoria Linda Dessau will serve as administrator in Governor-General Hurley’s absence.

![Canberra’s woodchopping association – the Hall and District Axemen’s Club – is rebranding to Capital Country Woodchopping.
“We didn’t want to be exclusively a Canberra association and we deliberately left any gender-specific wording out in the new name,” says president Cheyanne Girvan, 32.
“We also went a different [way] to other associations under NSW by not including ‘association’ in our name.”
Four years ago the Hall and District Axemen’s club’s membership was 25.
Cheyanne says this name change will give the club the versatility to grow into other areas and on to greater things.
