What’s the most impressive thing you can do for an overseas visitor?

Wrangle them an invite to the official residence of the Governor-General?

That’s exactly what Tim managed to do for Kevin. In this very special episode, they take a tour of Admiralty House and sit down with the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC.

The conversation is a relaxed one, a testament to Sam’s vision to modernise the role of the Governor-General and her desire to open the residence to as many Australians as possible.

Which well-known Australian randomly turned up in the garden? This, and many other questions, are answered in a conversation full of optimism, a celebration of kindness, and the enduring warmth of the Australian spirit.
