The Governor of South Australia His Excellency the Honourable Hieu Van Le will visit Naracoorte and Lucindale on Saturday. His itinerary will include officially opening the Children’s Museum at The Sheep’s Back at a community morning tea before spending the afternoon at Lucindale taking in fire recovery efforts from January’s devastating Blackford-Avenue Range fire.

His Excellency will have lunch at Yakka Park with volunteers and community members involved in the fire fighting and fire recovery efforts, then travel to Avenue Range to visit affected landowners.

After visiting Lucindale, he will return to Naracoorte to officially launch the Naracoorte Migrant Resource Centre and Limestone Coast Multicultural Network before enjoying dinner at Pearl Continental Australia with invited guests.

His Excellency last visited the local area in 2019 when he attended a community morning tea and toured local businesses, farms, wineries and tourist attractions.

Mayor Erika Vickery said it was an honour to showcase the area’s richness, diversity and resilience.
