Dr Young made the trip north with her husband, Professor Graeme Nimmo RFD, to have a special afternoon tea with several members of the community.
Earlier in the day, she also visited Mareeba State School, where the governor said she was most impressed with how intelligent the young children where.
She was also pleased to see the “cultural diversity” in the Mareeba Shire, particularly how the local state school embraced indigenous culture.
