The Mayor Amit Shah and President Dharmendra Shah were in Australia on an official mayoral visit, but found time to inspect the campus and meet with around 50 Indian students.

Mr Joshi, a Master of Information Systems student, said the visitors were full of praise for the facilities, technology and level of tutorial support they witnessed.
