Success for Kiama Councillor: Michael Cains Entertains Royalty

Newly sworn-in Kiama councillor Michael Cains is already climbing the ladder, this time all the way to royalty!



Cains was invited by the Premier, in conjunction with the Royal Agricultural Society, to a special event at Parramatta Park on Tuesday, 22 October, where he had the honour of being introduced to Their Majesties King Charles and Queen Camilla during their current visit to Australia. He was able to spend a few minutes talking with Queen Camilla - pictured above.


Michael expressed a fondness for the royals and thinks that King Charles is an interesting person and that that at the end of the day he is our current Head of State and King of Australia - our sovereign. Ultimately Cains thinks that Australia will be a republic at some stage but this occasion was about being caught up in the excitement of a royal visit.


Adding a local flavour to the occasion, Cains presented some of his farm’s award-winning produce to the royals. The event showcased the heart and soul of Australia multiculturally and the regional and rural contributors in our country.



"It is a great honour to serve our Pecora Dairy cheese to our Head of State, the King of Australia, and I can’t thank the Royal Agricultural Society enough for their ongoing support of rural and regional Australia," said Cains.

Pecora Dairy, founded in 2011 by Michael and his wife Cressida Cains, is an artisan sheep milk dairy and cheesery located on their 200-acre farm in Robertson, the Green Heart of the Southern Highlands. Known for their high-quality produce, Pecora Dairy has garnered significant success and remains a staple at the Kiama Farmers Market every Wednesday at Coronation Park.
