Peter Clough honoured with Medal
Lic. No 187379C
q Mayor Leah Anderson with Port Stephens Medal winner Peter Clough.
By Jacie WHITFIELD LONG-time community advocate Peter Clough says he was “obviously surprised” when his name was announced as a recipient of the prestigious Port Stephens Medal. The recognition reflects decades of his quiet, determined service to the Tomaree Peninsula. The medal, one of the highest honours the Port Stephens community can bestow, was presented at the Australia Day ceremony in Raymond Terrace by Mayor Leah Anderson.
