We were privileged to attend the City of Swan Mayoral Breakfast last Saturday evening. The main special guest was the Governor-General of Australia, His Excellency David Hurley.

The other special guests were the hundreds of individuals serving our community through numerous roles, both remunerated and voluntary.

It was an inspiring evening, that reminded us how many continue to work tirelessly – and tired, but still pushing through – throughout the year, for the benefit of others. The Governor-General was gracious in his comments and spent several days touring weather and bushfire-damaged sites to support those attempting to rebuild.
