Lovely to host the Governor of Tasmania, Her Excellency the Honourable Barbara Baker and husband Professor Don Chalmers in Derby today.
The weather really turned it on for their visit. 🌞
The pair have enjoyed this special place a few times over her tenure as Governor and today was no different, showing a great interest in Derby’s operations, growth and undoubted success for the state.

The visit comes just a few days before Derby hosts the Professional Trail Builders Association’s global conference, people are rolling in from all around the world as we speak before it kicks off next Tuesday!
