This afternoon, with the autumn sun shining down on Government House Wellington's North Lawn, Dame Cindy and Dr Davies hosted a State Welcome Ceremony for His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), the Governor-General of Australia, and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley. This very special event is customary for all Australian Governors-General during their term of office – and the first time that Government House has hosted an official State Welcome since before the Covid-19 pandemic. We wish Their Excellencies a wonderful visit to Aotearoa New Zealand.
