THANKYOU to Port Stephens for welcoming me as your Australia Day Ambassador – Raymond Terrace
The sun came out, the show tents were up, the band played …. and the festivities began for a joyous day on the banks of the Hunter River.
Thankyou especially to Mayor Bob Westbury and Councillor Glenys Francis for making me so welcome.
Thankyou to all the Council and Council Officer especially Steve Crowe.
Appreciated Shadow Minister for Development and Tourism Bob Baldwin coming along was moved by the email he sent me:-
“…your address on the challenges in life and how your family overcame them was inspirational.’

Welcome to country and the indigenous dancing by those gorgeous Worimi aboriginal kids
LIONS sausages; ROTARY morning tea; the Scouts; so many community groups contributing and celebrating.
The blessing of the prawn boats on the Hunter River - loved being on a prawner – 1st time experience
