One People, One Destiny: Celebrating the Australian Spirit
Australia Day Address, Parkes, Peak Hill and Bogan Gate, New South Wales, Australia
26 January 2007

“A brief, but sincere note of appreciation for the very gracious manner in which you displayed your official (and indeed unofficial) range of ambassadorial duties during our visit to Parks Shire for Australia Day. In my 40 plus years of civic life I seldom have received such positive feedback from a public address. Clearly a wide cross section of the community embraced your remarks and the way in which they were delivered in such a polished and vibrant manner.”
-  Councillor Robert Wilson, Mayor, Parkes Shire Council
