What Readers Are Saying
" James provided an excellent Ambassador address at our 2025 Australia Day ceremony in Henty. His address was extremely well received within the community as it was entertaining, informative and very well presented. Outside of the ceremony, James was easy to welcome into the community as he was happy to socialise and talked with locals and visitors alike. James made a great impression on the community, and we would love to welcome James back to Greater Hume as an Australia Day Ambassador. "
