On the day, Mr Taylor will be celebrating with the community in the Camden area, regarded by many historians as the “birthplace of Australian agriculture”.

He will be attending that council’s annual official Australia Day awards and citizenship ceremony.

“I always look forward to attending an Australia Day service and seeing everyday Australians being recognised for the wonderful work they do for our communities,” he said.

“One of the greatest things I personally take away from Australia Day is seeing the pride on new citizens’ faces when they can call themselves ‘Australian’ for the first time.”
