Australia’s former Governor-General is visiting the Northern Rivers this week.
Yesterday, Sir Peter Cosgrove toured Rappville, which was devastated in the 2019 black summer blazes.
Today, he spoke about leadership and overcoming adversity to hundreds of local high school students at Southern Cross University.
“I always wanted to be a soldier but there was a long time in training where I thought I made the wrong call, I’m not up for this,” Sir Peter said.
This evening, he will attend a fundraiser for charity, Lord Taverners.
