April 14, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invited guests enjoyed afternoon tea with the Queensland Governor at a special reception held at Kingaroy Town Hall on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

His Excellency Paul de Jersey AC, who lived at Coolabunia as a child, was in the South Burnett to officially open the Nanango Show on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He told his guests he was delighted to be making his first official vice-regal visit to Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

“Most Queenslanders need no introduction to your famous town,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We grow up knowing that Kingaroy’s peanuts are the best quality in the world – and I have no doubt my visit to the Peanut Company tomorrow will confirm as much!<\/p>\n

“The iconic silos that greet tourists represent this town’s tremendous spirit of enterprise and industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Indeed since its earliest days, Kingaroy has prospered from the enormous efforts of a hard-working community.<\/p>\n

“The region’s fertile soils and ideal climate have seen it develop as one of the State’s key food production areas.<\/p>\n

“We regularly and proudly serve high quality produce from the South Burnett on our dining table at Government House, including our house sparkling wine from Clovely Estate just north of here.”<\/p>\n

He said this prosperity did not come without challenge and effort.<\/p>\n

“Droughts, floods and fires – not to mention a pandemic – deleteriously affect incomes and batter resolve.<\/p>\n

“Overcoming these limitations requires optimism, drive and passionate fellowship.<\/p>\n

“Today, I see myself surrounded by people with these qualities. Your combined efforts are reflected in the extensive range of agricultural, business and tourism enterprises currently being undertaken in the region.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Governor de Jersey presented South Burnett Mayor Brett Otto with copies of a book, “The Governors of Modern Queensland” written by journalists Madonna King and David Fagan, published by the University of Queensland Press.<\/p>\n

The book, which has a foreword by Governor de Jersey, explores the experiences of the five living Vice-Regal representatives: Leneen Forde (governor from 1992-1997), Peter Arnison (1997-2003), Quentin Bryce (2003-2008), Penelope Wensley (2008-2014) and Paul de Jersey (current).<\/p>\n

It features interviews with these governors, all living Queensland Premiers and also captures the views of 80 regular Queenslanders about the governor’s role.<\/p>\n

Copies of the book were also given to attendees at the afternoon tea and will also be placed in all South Burnett libraries.<\/p>\n

Governor de Jersey also visited Pottique Lavender Farm during his brief visit to the region.<\/p>\n
