Swapping a US winter for the heat of Australia in January is in store for 23 university students when they visit Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga to learn about local animal production and rural leadership. The students from the University of Delaware will travel to the Riverina from Friday 6 January to Monday, 16 January 2006. The trip will also include visits to the Livestock Marketing Centre in Wagga Wagga, the CSU Winery as well as local farms. “This is the second time CSU has hosted the University of Delaware students and the aim is to give the students an understanding of animal production in Australia, through practical experiences,” said Emeritus Professor Ted Wolfe from CSU's School of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences.  Accompanying the students will be Associate Professors Patricia Barber and Bill Saylor from the University of Delaware’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
