Welcome to the Official Website of the Governor of Tasmania, the Honourable Peter Underwood AC
On Friday 5th April ABC television broadcast a programme about the Governor and Mrs Underwood called "A Governor's Life." To view it click this link to go to ABC Iview.
My wife and I invite you to explore this website. Its aim is to explain the role of a State Governor and his or her spouse and also to list the functions that Mrs Underwood and I have attended and will attend in the future. You will find other features including links to selected speeches we have made, advice about protocol, and how to invite the Governor and his or her spouse to attend a function. There is also a section devoted to the history of the Government House Estate including photographs of the interior and exterior of Government House and of its magnificent gardens.
I invite feedback about the site so if you have a good idea for improving it please contact the Official Secretary.
