The Governor and Mr Wilson were delighted to be part of all the excitement of the 150th Grafton Show, travelling to the Clarence Valley to celebrate more than a century-and-a-half of showcasing the region's agricultural excellence, local talent, and community connection.

In her opening speech, the Governor spoke of the rich history of the Clarence Pastoral and Agricultural Society, who organised the first Grafton Show in 1867, and applauded the generations of members whose tireless efforts and commitment to community have ensured the Show has gone on ever since.

Along with touring the pavilions with Mr Wilson to see the stunning displays and catch up with locals, the Governor even had the opportunity to go for a ride on the Ferris Wheel.
