Thank you - yes, I did find that interesting.

I’m embarassed to say that as somebody who once served as a protocol expert in the Australian Defence Force, I have no idea if there’s any similar tradition here, but I think it’s a good one (Australian Governors General who are retired officers (and many have been) have often worn their uniform, and others used to wear a British style uniform many years ago, but I’ve no idea if we’ve ever had an Australian uniform specifically for a GG. I inetend to ask - they are the Commander-In-Chief and there are situations where it would be appropriate).

Yes there is. All state governors and the GG have uniforms and rank insignias. Earlier this year the Governor of NSW wore hers for the Fleet Review.
