A message from The King to the Governor of Victoria regarding the ongoing flood emergency in Victoria
Published
It has been particularly inspiring to see how communities have pulled together to protect homes and livestock and to support each another during this appallingly difficult period.
Your Excellency,
It is with great concern that my wife and I have followed the news of the terrible floods in recent weeks in Victoria.
Our heartfelt thoughts are with all those affected and for the losses that have been suffered.
Whilst I realize that this emergency is not over, I do want to pay tribute to the extraordinary efforts of those members of the emergency services, Australian Defence Force and the thousands of community volunteers who have been involved in rescue and recovery efforts.
It has been particularly inspiring to see how communities have pulled together to protect homes and livestock and to support each other during this appallingly difficult period.
We send our kindest and special wishes to all Victorians as you continue to demonstrate your remarkable resilience and strength.
