Some days are more interesting than others…

I was thrilled to represent the Mulloon Institute as a guest of The King's Trust Australia for the launch of The King's Foundation Australia at Admiralty House yesterday in sunny Sydney.

It was an honour to meet HM King Charles III – especially with him looking so fit and well.

We spoke about the work of the Mulloon Institute in restoring and rehydrating landscapes across Australia, other similar projects in the UK and the Middle East and how the Kings Foundation Australia plans to restore and rehydrate the Hillview estate in the Southern Highlands. We hope to assist with the restoration and rehydration of the creeks, streams and rivulets on the estate.

On behalf of the Mulloon Institute I presented HM with a jar of Australian bush honey from my personal apiary in Sydney. HM asked if it was full of wattle – it is and other health giving properties! Doing our bit to keep the King fit and healthy!

Congratulations to all involved in this wonderful event and this worthwhile endeavour including Rob Stokes, Julie Bishop, Justin Hewitt and Kristina Murrin CBE
