6/6 - My visit concluded with a dinner very kindly hosted by Her Excellency Jeanette Young, the Queensland Governor.

5/6 - On such visits I also like to catch up with 🇬🇧 businesses & to see what they are doing.
Great to see Brew Dog's growth since I attended their opening 5 years ago & to meet the team from Gleeds Global & Grimshaw Architects, the design team behind Brisbane's Neville Bonner bridge.

4/6 - Our liaison work with #Australia's #Lawenforcement bodies is 2nd to none, at Federal & State level, to tackle international crime. It was good to call on #Queensland Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski to discuss this.

3/6 - With a high volume of #British tourists each year, I took time to visit Surf Life Saving #Queensland to say #ThankYou for their help when needed by Brits on holiday & to promote their #BeachPassport which provides advice on how to have a safe day at the beach.

2/6 - On the #GoldCoast, it was good to catch up with Deputy Mayor Donna Gates.
We discussed the city's burgeoning #Film 🎥 🎬 & #TV 📺 production industry, UK interests given our 🇦🇺🇬🇧 co-production MOU. #Healthcare too as a growing sector & the opportunities there.

3/3 - On morning 3, I ventured out to one of my favourite places in #LittleIndia - Victory Restaurant - where I had #RotiCanai with #curry #fish gravy & an #IceKopi.
Delightful flaky layers of roti soaking up the curry, whats not to like.
I guess these preferences reflect my childhood in #Malaysia 😎
