Historic day attending the Historic day attending the Queensland Proclamation of a new Monarch, King Charles lll. I also had the opportunity to sign a condolence book. RIP Queen Elizabeth ll.

Today, I visited Government House to offer condolences on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The world has lost a truly gracious and much loved lady, who was the embodiment of service before self. Her tireless work and humility over the seven decades of her reign was an example of dignity and a inspiration for many the world over. She will be greatly missed.
